Fabric Work

Fabric reinforcement needed to be added to the top fabric plate where the aileron cable exits and around the fuel filler port.  "Doilies" were cut from pre-shrunk fabric.  Three coats of adhesive were added to the areas around the attach points.  Once the adhesive dried, the fabric cutouts were added and attached with thinned adhesive.

The wing was flipped over and the same thing needs to be done for the bottom aileron and flap cable exits fabric plates.  Also, around the strut attach brackets needed fabric reinforcement.  The fabric was cut and the area needing adhesive was marked in pencil.  Hours: 1.5
