I have new dacron sailcloth for my CGS Hawk Arrow Plus. The fabric is ordered and is fabricated/pre-sewn (like socks) to fit the individual components (flight surfaces). The flaps and ailerons are easy to cover because they have parallel spars. The fabric fits very tightly and all that's required is the attachment at the root end with tape and rivets. My question is: how do I get the fabric tight on the tail surfaces which are more "triangular" shaped. I have pulled and pulled and yanked, but I cant get the fabric as tight as it needs to be...much less to secure it with the tape and rivets. PLEASE HELP!!!!! :tired:
