sewing in the wings
Well you never know how things will go with a project like this. I have the original plans so my my size scale is correct but who cares. today I cut the covering for the wings out of 1/4 inch screening material. This will allow wind and rain to pass through since this plane will be out in the elements. So I thought i would use aluminum wire for the supports and to sew the screening to the wings. Well it almost worked. I drilled holes and threaded the wire for the support. Then I started sewing the screen to the frame. But i noticed how the support wires were getting loose. Then the aluminum wire started breaking so I decided to started over with maleable steel wire . I think it will last longer.
