I attached the fabric on the right side of the fuselage today so the basic box is now covered. The fabric over the windows on both sides was cut out using a soldering iron which seals the edge of the fabric and cuts accurately along the line of the window opening. In addition it was used to pierce all the holes for the screws to attach the window to the frame. You can also see round the inside of the left window frame the black self adhesive neoprene strip which will create a watertight seal with the glazing. It is a bit scary having a hot soldering iron near the pristine fabric - one slip....However, all went well so next job on the covering is to apply all the tapes to cover the seams and protect the fabric where it lies on the stringers.
