Fuselage covering tapes
Today I added tapes to both sides of the fuselage. Still need to do the top and bottom. The Stewart’s manual stipulates a one inch overlap of the fabric joints, and one inch of tape either side of the edge. I’ve used a 3 inch tape to give a slightly wider cover on the joints, and 2 inches on the stringers etc.
Next I need to rotate the fuselage side on to access the top and bottom stringers, and lower overlap joints.
I also plan to add circular patches to the elevator attachment points, static ports, and where the pulleys exit.
