Painted each of the iron tabs for the drag cables and the wing cross cables. Also painted the iron tab holding the aileron pulleys in place.
Ironed the end material edges smooth and then ironed the end material at 250 degrees. Applied a line of glue along the bottom of the end material extending about 1 1/2 inches into the covering. Pulled the material over the bottom of the wing and aligned the end and trailing edges in place for the correct overlap. Ironed the end and trailing edges in place.
