    Shrink Wrap Wings !

    I found this company that sells 7 mil shrink wrap film in sizes 14' x 128' and larger. It comes in clear and white. If you could figure out a technique for taping it (3M VHB tape?) or other wise sticking it to the wing, you might have a cheap fast way of wing covering. Watch the demo video. This...

    Buying a partially done kit ???

    If you build you own plane as an experimental, you can do your own repairs and maintenance and I believe annuals. But what if you buy a kit that has already been started by someone?

    Laptop GPS?

    I have a laptop which has slots for PCMCIA cards. I was looking around on the net and found GPS PCMCIA cards, some with remote antenna inputs. I'm thinking that you could mount a remote antenna on top of the plane and then just plug in your laptop and blast off. Is there any reason this...

    P38?

    Covering Instructions website?

    Is there a website that documents the fabric covering technique? Is there a book? I did a Google search for Stitts and can't find anything. I've seen booths at Arlington with demos, but it's been a while. I think I remember the basic technique, but I want "the facts" What is the weight...
