I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions for fixing small holes and tears in my US covering?
What is the US covered with?
I have never dealt with aircraft facbric coverings and wonder what the best way to fix small wing covering tears.
There is a 6" tear on the wing top by the root and a quarter sized hole on the wing top at the tip.
What sort of method and materials should I use to prepare, patch and finish these repairs.

The repairs Procedure you will need, will determin what your plane is covered with You will have to know if its covered with the stits process and determing what kind of paint it was painted with if it was painted with Polytone verses Aerothane it will be a easier repair for you never having used this material before I dont believe Your wings are covered with Sailcloth so removing them and sewing on a patch is out of the question
Give us more info in Fabric and Paint

Mark V:
First, I was going to ask you how to remove the sail, but changed my
mind.
In fact, did not know we were using sails on Kolbs.
Most use polyester dacron and the old Stitts covering process, which
was supplied with the Ultrastar kits, and later renamed Polyfiber
process.
Correct fabric covering and repair procedure is imperative to safe
flight.
Suggest you contact Jim and Dondi Miller, 1-877-877-3334, and get your
fabric problem sorted out.
That is the correct number. I went as far as to call Jim and say
hello.
Kolbs don't fly well without fabric.
