It goes to show how badly understood fabric covered aeroplanes are understood by engineers more used to tin aeroplanes.. .. .Fortunately my aeroplane only needed "fettling" to tidy it up using cellulose dope and paint of course <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . .. .With one exception, I've yet to find an engineer familiar with rag & tube aeroplanes under 55. I hope there are some more out there or we'd better all get our engineers licences cos there will be damn few of them around in 15 years time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />
