Brief Description:  Covering Wings

Finished up the dozen or so short stitchs that I needed to do around the capstrips of the rips in that area just above and below the aileron torque tube. Cant pass the stitch through both sides as doing so would interfere with the operation of the tube. I would feed one end of the cord, with a knot in it, through one of the holes adjacent to the rib.Using the Short stitch tool I would fish the cord out and pull it through the other hole. Finished with half hitch followed by a square and another half hitch.
Applied top side finish tapes to ribs. 4 inche out to the prop arc then 3 inch.
Layed out root and spar tapes for near as exact as I could for straight and square. Applied those tapes using two coats of 3:1 adhesive and let it dry. Then installed the tapes by applying 4:1 adhesive and let it soak through the tape so its fully wetted.
