Pietenpol-List: Wing covering

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Craig Lawler
Subject: Pietenpol-List: Wing coveringI am starting the covering on my wings and would appreciate advice from those who have covered Piet ( or similar) wings on how they handled the undercamber. I know that stitching will pull the fabic up to the capstrip but am concerned that the 3-1/2" spacing outboard of the propwash might make it a bit unsightly. Is it standard practise to glue to the undercambered area prior to shrinking and rib stitching(yes, I will stitch regardless of whether I do or do not glue !! )Perhaps this is a moot point and an uneven surface does not even occur...but if so, would like to hear that also. Many thanks, Don Hicks________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2000 13:34:36 -0400
