Horiz Stabilizer Covering Cont.

We finished attaching pieces of Superflite fabric to one side of each horizontal stabilizer.  We had previously attached the fabric to one edge, so finished attaching to the other 3 perimeter tubes of the horiz. stablizers.   The fabric was wrapped around the tubes (which had 2 coats of U500 adhesive applied), and then another coat was applied to the fabric surface which soaked through the fabric and ensured good adhesion.  We went slow since these are the first 2 plane pieces we are covering, and didn't want to screw it up.  The process is a little tricky, but with practice we should get better.  Irons were used to help tame wrinkles and get the fabric to lay nicely against the tubes.  Hours: 2.0
