23rd October 2011 - Covering completed

The last six finishing tapes were applied to the flaps and right aileron this morning so all the covering is now complete other than a clean-up and cutting out round the hinges. Whilst doing the covering of the smaller components I've been leaving the fuselage out on the drive so, as winter approaches, I've bought a large tarpaulin that can cover it completely to protect it against the elements and keep the fabric protected from UV before it is painted. Wrapped like this, it should also be safe to leave it out overnight which will mean I can do the skinning of the wings in the workshop without moving the fuselage to the airport.
