What is the experience from the field ? I am interested in the
experiences
of RAH members. If you have glued fabric on without rib stitching was it a
success of failure ? What was the airplane, how wide are the cap strips
and
what glue and fabric were used.


I believe the Emeraude built by Ted Hendrickson circa 1977 relied on glue.
His cap strips were about 3/4" wide. The plane is still flying well almost
thirty years later and looks like new. I've been told it has exceeded 200
mph during aerobatics many times. Nonetheless, I stitched mine.
