RE: Bates 106
Horizontal stab (cont)
The rest of the top sheeting was added from the spar to the LE.
Waste was removed and top sheeting was sanded.
Dry fit of dihedral: 8.3 degrees versus spec of 8.0 (close enough!).
Sheer webbing added to main spar: usual spiel: small weight gain, big structural integrity gain.
Fuse (cont)
A full 3' X4" sheet added to the left side (minus trim for cockpit and nose): it took some strong clamps to get the sheeting around the nose.
Another full sheet added to the top, right of the fuse.
