Hello everybody. I've added a few new pictures to my website.I have been trying to figure out how to put in filler strips around theperimeter of the fuselage sides for covering. I have struggled with whetherto try to cover OVER the metal fittings or cover right up to the edges ofthem. It looks like addiing filler strips and somehow "bridging' over thefittings themselves with possibly a thin metal or plywood strip may be inorder. The metal fittings are so big and heavy on the GN it's hard to workover them with fabric. I'm open to suggestions - I know my e-mail isconfusing, sorry.Anyway take a look at my pictures if you want...http://members.surfsouth.com/~conolys/Mvc-004F.JPG this is a picture of thefiller stripsThanks, Bert(Who has decided to re-name his plane a GN-1 "Air Anvil")http://members.surfsouth.com/~conolys/gn1picts.htm New pictures 4/23/00________________________________________________________________________________
