Next time you're in Covington, GA, stop by the shop and I'll show you how much
fun I had covering the wings of my Wright machine. Cotton muslin WITHOUT any
dope or shrinking... just streched tight with very sore fingers.

I did a considerable amount of fabric testing over the last year looking for a
suitable substitute for the infamous "Pride of the West." I made a similar
fabric frame to test that the fabric would NOT shrink and distort my unbraced
wings. (The fabric iteslf provides the lateral bracing.) I even developed a
vacuum testing device which measured fabric porisity in Hg. Alas, I ended up
going with a custom-milled cotton from WW1 Originals. Very pricey, but very
very acurate.
