THE PINHOLE SOLUTION!!!
Would you like to have the perfect solution to those annoying pinholes in composite parts?  Tired of trying to fill the holes with multiple coats and then sanding, sanding, sanding?  We have the answer!  Loehle Wonder-Fil is a paste-like substance you wipe on with a paper towel, wait about five minutes and then wipe it off.  Voila!  Pinholes are filled and you can proceed with a smooth coat of primer (our Black Filler/UV Blocker Primer helps tremendously in identifying every little blemish that might still need attention).  Wonder-Fil comes in three convenient sizes...pint ($33), quart ($59) and gallon ($212).  You'll be SO GLAD you found this!

We have introduced a whole new line of aircraft covering and aircraft paint products for metal, composite and fabric covered aircraft.  Mike Loehle has painted aircraft since the 1970's and has always strived for the "award-winning, front-cover" kind of finish.  These are things you can't buy---you have to earn them.  We have the awards and the front covers.  Many people over the years have asked, "How does he do that?"  Well, now you can know!  And we'll show you how to have a beautiful high gloss finish on your aircraft!  And you can do it with much less time and effort than with other older systems on the market.  Mike has worked extensively with chemists on products needed for aircraft, and is proud to share his special blend of the most modern, shiny, flexible aircraft paint chemicals available today.  Sign up for one of our aircraft painting classes held at the factory.  Call us at 931-857-3419 or click here for a copy of our brochure that gives lots of details, along with frequently asked questions/answers.  Because of fewer coats required, it's hard to match apples/oranges to compare prices, but click here for our price sheet.  We'll be adding updates frequently about our Loehle Aero Coatings aircraft paint line...so come back here for the latest in "THE" system you'll want to use on your aircraft project.  Don't cover and/or paint any aircraft (wood/metal/composite) until you've checked out this system first-hand!  You and your project deserve this exciting, beautiful finishing touch!


MIKE LOEHLE - 2008 EAA ULTRALIGHT HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE - We are quite pleased to announce that Mike Loehle was the 2008 recipient of the prestigious EAA Ultralight Hall of Fame award.  Mike and Sandy attended the formal ceremony on October 24.  See www.eaa.org/halloffame and click Mike Loehle for a  quick glimpse of Mike's history. 

 

LOEHLE "5151" MUSTANG

Loehle aircraft kits feature pre-cut and machined, numbered parts for ease of assembly.  Even little parts just 2" long are pre-cut and ready for you to epoxy in place!  It's like building a big model airplane...just a lot more fun because then you get to go flying IN it when you're finished building!  Want more info?

 
Try just a rudder first!  If you (or a wanna-be builder you know) are a little hesitant about your building skills and want to try just a small part first, order a Rudder Confidence Kit and try your hand at building just the rudder for $135 ("5151") or $175 (P-40).  This sample kit is actually part of your aircraft when you're finished.  (These also make a nice birthday gift.  Be sure to order two weeks in advance to allow shipping time.)
New! Photos and descriptions of some of our popular kit options - click here. Lots more to be added...so check back often! 
A recent Loehle Aero Coatings project --- an F-15 fighter aircraft!
