Spent this morning working on the Kitfox covering. Terry was concerned about some wrinkles he couldn't remove from the side we covered on Tues. After viewing the side, we determined he was over aggressive with the heat gun and tiger striped the side where he was trying to shrink out wrinkles. If you over heat the fabric it will damage the finish, essentially changing the color slightly. Not a safety of flight issue, a cosmetic issue. So, Terry has to reconfigure his paint scheme to hide the striping. However, the side was tight and there were no wrinkles.
Before we rotated his fuselage, we laid out cut the vertical stab piece of fabric. Then we rotated his fuselage to layout the final side and the opposite side of the vertical stab. We got all of the remaining fabric pieces cut and marked for glue. We'll finish the covering later next week.
