  • fuse covering

    I tried covering the fin separately from the fuse sides. Made a spice on the lowest rib and used a batten strip to attach fabric to rib. I think it saved a lot of work and looks good.

      Jim;

      Regarding that batten strip you attached the fabric to the bottom rib with, do you recall what material you used?

        I think it was .025 6061 aluminum. I glued the fuse fabric to the top of the rib and lightly shrunk the fuse, the lapped and glued the fin fabric over the fuse fabric and riveted the pre drilled batten strip. Then final shrinking.
