Covering a Kitfox with Oratex, Continued

I was back at Terry's hangar this morning. We installed some finishing tapes on the trailing edge of both wings. These were the 2" wide peel and stick tapes that came in his covering package. I did the peel and stick part while Terry followed with the heat gun and felt pad. Terry had already laid down a strip of masking tape to use as a guide line. The tapes went down easy and came out nice. The wings are done.
 
 
 Next, we laid out the rudder and drew the glue lines. He will glue both the rudder and the fabric today and I'll return in the morning to help attach the fabric.
