Horizontal Stab is recovered. Using Solartex, which I believe the plane was originally covered in.

Solartex, with exception of the weight, must be one of the easiest to apply / best coverings available. It just stretches around compound curves with ease.

In the future I would like to try Stits as I am always wanting to learn something new. However, I have the Solartex already and its use seems appropriate for this plane.

Covered the bottom, then the top, then used an old soldering iron (Purchased for this purpose) to burn out all the holes.
