How important is the bias direction when making that patch around the strut fittings? Should the longer side of the patch be biased in the same direction as the original bias or is it not that critical ? How much larger in area should that patch be after covering the area of the fittings. At least 1” or more on all sides?

HOW MUCH IS YOUR CLOTH STICKY TAPE?

HOW HOT WOULD YOU GO ON A WOOD STRUCTURE?

no glue on the ribs?

The rib sticking looks so complicated that it's the most difficult part of the whole redoing fabric on the whole aircraft.

Why would you put a new cable on a rusty $3 Clovis?

Show !!!!!!!

To one who witnessed liberation of Western Europe in 1944/45, this will always be one of the most beautiful symphonies.

Just like drywall, very cool

I always stiched my cubs at 2.5" in slipstream and 3.5" out of slipstream

Where can I take wings for covering?

Great video ! 👍

Excellent point abt not cutting holes for fittings too early. I made that mistake and was forced to cover a misaligned hole. I am amazed @ the new glues and processes since I last covered anything.

This is a great series, thanks for the work

And that’s why airplane are made of aluminum.

One hell of a absolutely amazing boat build … well done team

What type of felt is used on the leading edge?

Please upload S01E02

Fantastic job! Thank you for sharing

Does it matter which way the weave on the fabric is going?

Thank you for sharing your expertise!

Looking forward to seeing more videos!! You deserve more views! Did you know that you could use SMZeus . c o m?! Use it to promote your videos, it will help you grow your channel!!

Just here for A&P. Easier to understand when you visualize it like this

Another great informational video. Dennis is easy to understand and hear, and the videographer is great too, just like being there watching in person. 2 thumbs up !

While rib stitching, if you cut yourself short , can you add string with a knot? And if so, what kind of knot? Is this safe and secure?

Can you tell me what type of glue (the green one) you are using?

Is this the Pitts from “wings over Holland”?

But I'm curious what two people gave it a thumbs down LOL

Awesome! I use this as my reference every time I'm covering one of my planes

Unless your STC reads differently, there may be a slight error at about 11:25 in the video. AC 43.13-1B, Section 2-9, paragraph (a), states this: "...Where multiple attachments are in close proximity, such as on a wing rib, continuous reinforcing tape should be installed, extending at least 1 inch past the last attachment at each end..." I'll need to go get your STC manual to read it, as that would take precedence over AC 43.13-1B, but does it state that you only need to extend 1/2" past the last stitch. Not to be overly pedantic here or anything, but that could be a real pain in the butt if a person only extended 1/2" past the last stitch, and then it failed inspection because it wasn't a full inch. I'm not sure any inspector would catch that (my guess is yes), but back in A&P school in the 1980s, we had a couple of ex-military instructors who would absolutely bust you for it. So then you'd have to do a bunch of work to make that right.

Thank You Dennis - I have rebuilt my flying boat with Stewart System - so much easier!

It’s great you’re passing this on.

Awesome thanks a lot.

Awesome thanks a lot.

I’ve really enjoyed this , love to see a master at work.

Excellent work! I’m guessing you’ve forgotten more than I’ll ever know about fabric work! Great stuff, thank you for such detail

Hello, After watching their videos I will use the stewarts system to fill in my J-3, but I have 2 questions: 1.- What is the name of the fabric that is placed on the leading edge? 2.- Is it not necessary to give an epoxy primer to the entire aluminum structure before covering it? Thanks in advance

I’m in isolated town in the Pilbara Western Australia karratha is the town.

If only I could find an old guy like this with the knowledge to help me I don’t have that so got to learn every thing my self but that’s ok

These videos are fantastic the details are excellent I’m going to build super cub soon and this has helped amazingly

how much you charge to recover a set of Cessna 140 wings?????

Fascinating, great skill and knowledge. Thank you.
