I strongly agree with John Cooper's recommendation concerning Jim and
Dondie Miller. I recovered my wings in the spring of 2008 with no
previous experience. I read the Polyfiber manual and, after consulting
several friends, I contacted the Millers. I ended up purchasing all of
my supplies from them at very reasonable prices. They were also
invaluable all during the recovering process as they were always
available by telephone to answer any questions I or my IA had about the
process. At their suggestion, I purchased an envelope for each wing,
which was sewn with only one seam that fell along the underside of the
wing spar making it almost invisible. The envelope also saved many hours
of work which would have been required to shape the cloth around the
wing tips.
