Neat detail ain't it Chris.

My understanding of fabric covered airplanes is that if it's not taunt , it will result in a catastrophic failure in short order. I doubt it would be worth replicating.Neat detail ain't it Chris.

I think if one looks at other pics., they to had wrinkled fabric. At least from what I recall from when I built mine. But what do I know?? Gary S.
That's guys, @phantom II I did that zenith spray of some buff over the winkles just for you buddy! Should make those winkles stand out a bit.
Got a flat coat on.
I think it's time to pull the mask off and start rigging prep.

Looking good. I just may be the photo angle, but the prop doesn't look straight. Gary S.
Not glued yet but i'll make sure future photos are angled where you can't tell.
Well I'm tickled how this came out.
I got the upper wing rigged up and smoking over my end point joiners. Looking over my few photos from Hendon I see a mixture of the fixtures.
Still shitty work week, I'm online now waiting on some folks to finish their maintenance to make sure they did it right.

I got the outside struts inner rigging done before getting the wing on, I'm going to regret not being able to do the same on the inside struts.
I did a dry fit of the wing and it went so well I decided to just glue it in place. I did the blunt application of the CA on the tip of the string and hit it with my 3rd hand with some kicker. I'll use both brass rod and the Gaspatch end points depending on the need.
What I can not find is an actual rigging diagram as a guide. But I guess no one else can to say I did it wrong.
I'll be dang, look what I found.

Hey Bob I ran across this meme over the weekend and thought you would appreciate it.
I'm shakin' it boss, I'm shakin.
Another hell week at work end with me refusing to do someone else's job and taking half the day off to go car shopping for Cindy. Long story about work but we ended up trading in her 2014 Venza for a 2026 Grand Highlander. It's always fun hagglin' with car dealers especially when you can throw the line out "I think we just need to go get some lunch and keep shopping.". That always get them wheelin' and dealin.'
