Not sure if normal felt will work. I could be wrong, but I think the glue will seep in too much and not provide a good bonding surface for the felt. The original foam padding on the Flite was not nearly as porous as felt. In addition, it was thicker in parts such as the tail and almost sculpted near the front sides. I've been wondering if there is some kind of foam which could be sprayed on and then sculpted/sanded into shape before applying the new leather.
