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.

Finishing Tapes On Root Ribs and Aileron Cutouts
We had another warm dry day and I was able to get the tapes on the corners of all the root ribs as well as the tape on each root seam.
Just like I did for the ailerons I made pieces which covered the end rib for the aileron cutout in one piece. This gives a total of 4 layers of fabric in the aileron end gap, as little as is possible. I made the cover piece so it goes around the corner . The spanwise tapes for the cutout will overlap it to close the corner.
Hopefully I can start the spanwise tapes on the next warm day.
