RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.
Good Morning. Uhh, Afternoon? What ever. Lots of fotos today. The first few are the wing trailing edge parts with their new Koverall skins. I guess if you've see one you have seen them all. I covered them first just to get the hang of the Sig process. That way I hope to have edged up the learning curve a little when it comes time to cover the wings and fuselage. The last time I covered an airplane I used the "bottom,sides, top" method. Anyone got a better one, please share it with us. I bought three bags of cloth so I have lots.
I just mounted the nose scoop. I was not happy with the construction sequence but I could not think of a better method. Follow the instructions and it will work. It took a while to get it done, but short of a fiberglass cowl this is the best I can do. Speaking of a F/G cowl, how does one intrest the cowl builders in making some up? I know they do 'one offs' but I think this plane will need a glass cowl. I cant' see the ABS/ balsa setup lasting too long under normal conditions. If you fly your Tripe very often this setup looks a bit weak. ( Ken, you listening?) Time will tell.
My wife has forbid any use of nitrate dope in or near her house while she still lives. But I will manage to cover the rest of the plane somehow. We have ways.... More later
