Default RE: My Byron CAP-21 mods

The sheeting is held on with polyurethane (Elmer's ProBond). The fuse was done one sheet at a time, using lots of masking tape and wieghts. Same for the tail feathers. I had a little help with the wing. I happen to know a wing cutting expert, and we made a whole new set of wings and saddles using the existing wing as a template. We used those saddles and a lot of weight to sheet the wings. I also now have another set of wings for another project. Total cost of the new wings is about $4. Total time to cut them was about 2 hours. Sheeting was about an hour.

I got the rudder and right wing covered tonight. It's lookin sweet, and I can't wait to start my trim job on her. I managed to do an excellent hinge sealing job on the right wing, if you don't mind me bragging. IF anyone has more questions, feel free to ask. I'll post some pics in the near future.
