Focus has been on the wings, and with the help of my daughter, we're a little more than half way through the rib lacing process.
I also took care of something that's been in the back of my mind since I purchased the aircraft over 30 years ago.
The way the fuselage fabric forms around the door frames and lower fuselage longerons (and attached wood forms) leaves a small gap on the inside between the fuselage tube and fabric. This gap is under the seats, and is a trap for debris which is impossible to clean out. Anything that drops from the pilot and passenger locations.... grit, small hardware, coins, bits and bites, butts, whatever, can end up trapped. No big deal except that eventually it shows through the fabric/finish on the outside.
My solution ... a 2" tape attached to the top of the fuselage tube and the fuselage fabric which should channel debris to where it can easily be extracted.
So the only section added to in this update is the Wings. Hope to get into doilies, gussets and tapes by the end of the week.
Enjoy... and as always, all comments, here or on the Taylorcraft Forum, are very welcome.
