Brief Description:  Started covering the fuselage Sides

I re-prepped the rear fabric attach plates using two layers of
surgical tape instead of Velcro to reduce bulk.
I installed four vertical ribs between the top and bottom formers below
the engine. This was in order to eliminate any distortion of the 1/2"
tubes when tightening the fabric. I fabricated these ribs using
flashing aluminum and forming into a 1/2" "U" shape for strength.
These were very light but structurally quite rigid.
I positioned the left rear fabric and cut the elongated hole for the
main gear legs and hung the fabric in position using many clamps.
