Yesterday I rib stitched the elevators and then applied the finishing tapes over the stitches. That completes the stitching for the aircraft. Stitching seems to be one of the tasks that builders dislike but on the Tailwind there is relatively little to do as the wings are sheeted so there was just enough to do to be interesting without becoming a major chore.Today I started covering the left aileron. This uses a complete wrap of cloth from the leading edge around the trailing edge and back to the leading edge. The ends are folded over to complete the covering and then a separate piece of cloth was used to cover the counterbalance horn. Next job is the remaining finishing tapes for the elevators, the tapes for the aileron and then on to the other aileron and flaps.
