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.

Spanwise Tapes On 2 Wings
We had a beautiful day today so I was able to get the spanwise tapes on the lower right and upper left wings, as well as the right aileron. The patches for the aileron cutout and aileron spar worked out very well.
One tape near the leading edge, on the bottom of the wing, is at the edge of the leading edge aluminum. The second tape, behind it, is covering the sewn seam in the envelope.
I still need to put on the bias cut tapes at the tips and the drain grommets.
We have 4 more days of nice weather forecast so hopefully I'll be able to finish the fabric work through silver.
