Covering is going along much slower than I'd like, but with 6" of snow overnight that needed to be cleared off the driveway, sleeping in for the first time in months, and doing some Christmas shopping I just didn't have the drive to push it.
For the color scheme, it'll be blue & white, although I'm still not exactly sure how much white will make it or what design it'll get. I'll cut some vinyl for it after it's done and I figure out what I want it to say.
Tail feathers are now covered, and the elevators are hinged with Blenderm tape. The rudder will get hinged after all the covering is done.
The brackets that hold the wings together are attached to the wings using these small tabs - light ply that is fit down into pockets in the wing. One thing I'm not sure of yet is the spacing of the brackets from the top wing to bottom wing. The spacing on the top wing is about 1/2" wider per side than the lower wing, so maybe these wing struts aren't installed vertically, but at a slight angle outward?? Instructions don't mention anything about it, but worst case scenario is I can easily add a couple spacers to help it all align properly.
