Haven't made very much progress on the covering because I have to install the rudder, elevator cables before covering the left side. When the airplane got blown off the runway at the airport and damaged, they cut the control cables at the tail instead of unbolting. So I have to make new cables and install. When I built it I used 3/32" dia cables. The new cables are 1/8" cables and a little over kill and heavier but when we built the 4 Bearhawks we bought 500' of cable , so have a lot leftover and going to used it.
The covering will have more seams than normal because I'm covering the fuselage with leftover fabric from previous builds. My wife makes homemade quilts and has a sewing room with all the tools that I'm not allowed to touch. She just bought another new sewing machine and I got her to try it out by sewing some of the fabric for me. Very nice job. Maybe she is a keeper. Well, been deciding for 61 years
