    Non-Certified Dacron

    Thanks for all the info, I ordered the 2.97 Dacron and I was suprized at the quality, it really looks good. No blemishes that I can see. Weave is a little more coarse then the Ceconite 102, but it is strong stuff, I'm very pleased. I am beginning to notice the results of what RockieDog mentioned...

    Best water based wood wing sealer

    Thanks for the feedback, I think I'll give the Sys-3 Clearcoat a try, that way it may also help fill Any voids in the rib gussets that might have slipped through my "Quality Assurance" department

    Best water based wood wing sealer

    I'm ready to completely seal my wooden Doudle Eagle wings. I'm going to go with the water based Steward System fabric adhesive. Has any one had experience with what is the best compatible waterbase sealer for the money I could use that could be found at the local Aviation Store (lowes...

    Which type of fabric should I use?

    Hey Aircraftbuilder, I hope this is not changing the topic, but I've got my Dub Eagle wings ready to cover also, are you going to glue the fabric to the 1/4 ribs, or have you something else in mind? I went and glued 1mmx3/4 cap strips on top of my ribs to increase the glue area, so the surface...

    Non-conventional Brake Ideas

    Got so much great feed back on my first question on the HBA, that I'd like to ask another. Is anyone else besides me, working on a "non-conventional" brake system? I'm trying to limit the number of parts needed for a braking system on my Dub-Eagle. I'm going to swallow my pride and post a...

    Double Eagle Wing Weight Question

    Thanks for all the input, really is helping. Gives me a lot to chew on. Taking the "calibrated elbow" approach, I installed a set of Aeronca Champ 7BC wings a few months back and I think I stripped and elbow, they were a lot heavier then I expected them to be. Mine aren't as heavy in comparison...
