, a letter re: Oratex seams,


Congrats on a good job!
What does the comment about oratex mean?

So here in Canada Oratex is a big unknown to most inspectors. If you want nice small seams and minimal edge tapes - they don't meet the "poly fiber" standards - which inspectors an inclined to follow. As a result I need written documentation from Manufacture to prove my case that my Oratex install is correct.

Well that sounds like a pain. I wondered about inspectors and oratex but had never heard of a problem.

My DAR never even heard of Oratex. Just said "Your fabric looks good. Did you paint it or did you hire someone." I said, "No I did not paint it, it came that way." "What brand is it?" I told him Oratex, and he just said "Oh"..... That was it as far as fabric.

HaHa, I wondered how many every heard of it. Seems most dar are older gentlemen , not many young ones into it.

The day has come! I got my papers and she's cleared to fly! Hope to get her to the airfield next week and start flight tests as weather permits.

Here's a peek at the final product. (less a little cleaning as the dust has been collecting).
