Escapade Build Report

After covering the rudder and trim tab, we moved on to the left wing.  Here, Dale and Ray are helping us cover the wing.

After cleaning all the parts that will be glued, we put 2 coats of Poly-Brush on the leading edge and trailing edge.  After it has dried, we put a coat of Poly-Tak on the leading edge for fastening the fabric.  We also used Poly-Tak on the trailing edge and on the glue plates around the strut attach brackets and pulleys.  A single piece of fabric goes over the top of the wing and a piece goes underneath.

As the fabric is rolled, Poly-Tak is applied to the ribs as well.  Slits must also be cut in the fabric for the hinge brackets and control cables.

After the bottom fabric is glued into place, we turned the wing over in the cradle to work on the top fabric.
