Default RE: Covering question?

My attempt at molding a cowl was just as much a learning expearance as much of this plane has been. What you see is the result of FOUR attempts. Was not willing to accept only good enough. For a darn arf I would not have thought it would have been such a back to school expearance. But then I really wanted to push myself. I have some future projects in mind that the wife is looking foward to me doing that I know at this time are a push in my skill and building cababillites.
This morning when I got up and looked at the control surfaces, the fabric had relaxed overnight (we do look to have rain on the way). Oh well.
I am off to Joann's to try and find some linning by<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(251, 252, 255); ">Sunline. Only a mile.
I do intend to order some Sig</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; line-height: 16px; font-size: small; ">Koverall and use it for the small areas.
The price is not bad particularly if you get the longer amount

</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody></table>I think that works out to about 6$ a running yard versus 4$ for linning. Not bad. And if used just areas that really need the extra shrink, will in the long run be cheap.
I went out and looked at some coverite at the LHS and needed to put burn salve on my fingers $$$.OUCH!
So remove frabric and clean up wood, and try again, and if I need to again.
And thanks for the compliment. I am following your Space walker thread. I have already learned from it.
