Default RE: Sig Somethin' Extra Build

Got the first piece of sheeting installed. Glued and pinned in place to dry first.



After the sheeting dried I used a wet washcloth to dampen the outside of the sheeting and it layed down on the ribs much easier. Got the glue down on the ribs and spar and placed a shirt and some bags of pea gravel on the wing to keep the sheeting flat against the ribs and spar. With the weight on the front of the wing it rocked forward a bit and lifted the back end. I weighted down the TE a little and added a few more pins to keep it in place and straight.



Hope to put another piece of sheeting on tonight once this one dries.
