Well today I got back off my short week long summer vacation to the beach and got right back down to the basement to finish taping my upper right aileron. If you remember from the previous post I had only taped the ribs but still needed to tape the spars, the trailing edge and the bottom side ribs. After I had all those taped and drying I decided to get the tip cap fabric installed which is a PITA (pain in the ass) You have to do quite a bit of shrinking the fabric to get it to make the shape and even to that end I had to make a small slit to make it around the nose in nice shape. I finished those on the other ailerons as well. Its almost time for some eko fill!
The picture below is an example of the tip caps I was talking about, and yes I have a little trimming to do on the trailing edge.
