Covering - Wings

I cut the Oratex panels for the wings today. I decided to stick with the same strategy of a top and bottom cover as I've done on all the other pieces. So, I cut four panels, two for each wing. I trimmed the width down to 49 inches from 77. The four excess pieces ended up being the top and bottoms for the flaps. I then laid them on the wing to draw the glue lines on the fabric.

My glue was expired, so I had to test it to confirm that it was still usable. It failed so I ordered new glue.
