Baggage compartment covering

Post by BlainS »

Planning baggage compartment covering. The drawing is based on the lower longeron. Fabric is new to me so I'm looking for validation of my plan.

That is correct.
Enjoy the fabric journey. It's tedious work as you cut around all of the tubes, tiedowns, tabs, and fairlead guides, then place reinforcement patches around them once each panel is installed, but there are few steps that make you appreciate the building process as much as fabric installation. It feels so great when the bare fuselage starts to look like an airplane as the fabric goes on! Your will likely find your confidence level and enthusiasm go up too.

I just finished covering my second Highlander, this time in Oratex. I enjoyed using the Stewart System a lot more, but I'm happy I don't have to paint this time.
Regards,
Dan
