Brief Description:  Covering the Elevator

Plans:
1. Cover the elevator with 2.97 oz. Dacron.
Status: 50% complete. The elevator was covered today however a slight distortion of the frame was found after shrinking at a modest 250 degrees. It is not obvious looking at the frame but the fabric on the bottom side puckered a bit after shrinking the top side. I will try next session to smooth out the puckering at a higher temperature. With luck no additional distortion will occur. At the moment the distortion of the frame is not bad enough to merit a do-over assuming the fabric can be smoothed. It looks like 250 degree shrinks might be the upper limit.
