Fabric is not always stitched. Most homebuilders are aware that it is sometimes glued to the structure but most are not familiar with the many other time-tested methods. On some airframes it is attached with canes & nails (!) and for metal ribs, with spring clips, wire, sheet metal screws and even rivets. When Razorback is attached with these methods you end up with a virtually permanent skin. -R.S.Hoover John Dyke's prototype, N555A (I hope I got that right), has the fabric riveted to the elevon ribs, rudder and tailfin. It is glued to the belly. -- http://www.ernest.isa-geek.org/ "Ignorance is mankinds normal state, alleviated by information and experience." Veeduber |
