Default RE: Wing covering


ORIGINAL: 33willys

Didn't mean to start a todo just wanted inside. Seems to me that the process should go...1.perimeter, 2. heat gun the center, 3. seal the covering to the ribs. The last step locks everything in place. Not sure but gaining insight. Would be nice to run into an oak tree and knock it over rather than have to climb the tree. Sensi, I think you have enough lift with the ailrons to get the dining room table aloft.

Excellent 33Willys your process will work fine and of course the important one is your number three. A heat gun can be used in the center but to assure the ribs are sealed simply run your hand along each rib with it in a sock and apply a slight pressure downwards not sliding it along as you move the heat gun. If you can see the rib (the seal line) visually then you know that it is sealed.
