Default RE: Sig Hog Bipe Build

Hooked,
Looking good so far. You're repair on the mounting holes should be just fine. Doing sheeting can be a bit tough, we all go through it. I think that you'll find as many ways to do it as there are builders out there. I found a way to do it that works well for me. I made up a bunch of weight bags. Made them out of cutting up all my old army uniforms, sewed them into bags, and filled them with BB's. I made a bunch of 3 lb bags a bunch of 1 lb bags. I attach the front of the sheeting to the backside of the leading edge. Then I use Elmer's Carpenter glue on each rib and along the spar where the sheeting will attach. I then use the weight bags to weigh down the sheeting until the glue dries. This will give you lots of time to make sure everything is down, will give you a good joint, and won't contribute to your CA allergy. I've been trying to do more and more building with carpenter's glue and less and less with CA.

I'm enjoying following your progess. Keep us posted
