We got the top put on one wing today. It was more difficult because you have to come out on a line where the bottom half you just trim to fit when done. Nice to see a wing looking like a wing!

Very nice looking cover job on your wing Harlan. You’ll have a beautiful Kitfox with workmanship like that.

Yeah Harlan, it looks great at that stage right?. I look forward to, one day, seeing Justin and his brothers planes. They didn't use tapes and or lacing. I bet it looks awesome in person. I didn't have the guts to venture off the beaten path as they did.

I'm still doing testing on the glue and fabric but it's looking like I will follow their lead on the tapes and lacing since the book says you don't need them on one inch cap strips. They will have several hours on theirs too by the time I fly.

Started on the fuselage covering today. Just like a tightening pass to finish the bottom up and a little more trimming.

One side is done, well almost. It was a lot of work but it all came together in the end. Oratex is really stiff stuff when trying to pull/shape it.
