Ready for misting |

Use a small amount of Testors to make sure the silkspan is attached to the leading edge. |
| David Duckett, Image # 8622 | 09 Jun 08 07:40 |
Glue the string. |

| DD....did you use the "wet" tissuing method in this case??? |

Trim away the excess. |

Per plans, this extra glue on the outside of the string seals the covering. |

Pull the silkspan over from the back and glue a center section. Then glue the rest working each side in small sections. Glue the silkspan to the wingtips, as well. |

Trim away the silkspan from the leading edge and wingtips. |

It's very important to glue the silkspan to the string. |
| David Duckett, Image # 8615 | 09 Jun 08 07:22 |
Bottom finished |

Paint/glue the spar, too. |
| David Duckett, Image # 8613 | 09 Jun 08 07:17 |
When dry, now paint each rib and let dry. |

Silkspan is taped to table over the upside down wing. Start by gluing the wing tips and leading edge. |

| They are painted with acrylic paint. |

| 50/50 white glue and water as per plans. |

| What did you paint them with? Don't mean to be so inquisitive, but I'm taking notes for the Wright that I am so slowly building. |
| simpleflyer, Comment for image # 8611 | 09 Jun 08 00:01 |
| "50/50 mixture", I presume that you are using the white glue as suggested in the plans, or are using dope? Looking very good so far. |

| The leading edge is wood. It's actually fairly easy to cover although it does require some time since the silkspan is glued to each rib. |

| Nice picture - the natural lighting works very well with the wood. Is the leading edge a wire or thread? Either way it must be a challenge to cover. |
