Infopimp.

I see some tape at the end of your TOW, was this done before cutting or after. Also will it dull the wifes sewing scissors?

I use the blue tape to hold it in place when I cut. Nice quality sissors go right through the blue tape and the tow. I remove the tape on one end when wetting out, and the other piece when laying it in. The wing came out really stiff.

Build a full flying stab mount.

Wing spar on a big foamy.

and of course it will be good for the inevitable repairs.

Thanks Merrill,
