This blog records the history of Building, Flying and Changing our Fly Baby. The plane is alive and well so this will be an ongoing story. The principals in this story are Ernest and Dennis Harbin. All the family and many friends participated in this adventure. Ernie and Dennis will both make comments in posts. We both saw all this through our own eyes and remember things differently, so you'll get our thoughts and memories.

Center Section Tapes Done
The last tapes to be applied are the span-wise tapes. They're last so if they come loose they will peel off and not stick around causing flight safety problems if they were stuck under the chord-wise tapes. A coat of Poly Brush was brushed on all the tapes, feathering out the edges to not leave sharp lines.
The last thing to go on was the drain grommets, on the bottom of the wing, at the aft end of the ribs, and at the drain holes in the root box structures.
We're ready to start spraying the next poly coats. I need to hook up my new compressor first. The old, worn out, one puts too much oil in the hoses and onto whatever you're spraying. First I'll get started on the upper wing panels. This is fun.
