Badland Part 103 Pilots and Builders Forum

After measureing MANY times, layout, and check MANY times, I cut the base Oratex Sky Blue pattern for the starboard side. I have a buddy coming by in the morning as a needed extra set of hands to help position the 108" x 38" sheet on the airframe as I locate the glue lines for installation.

Once the markup is done I'll use the piece as a pattern for cutting the port side sheet.

After covering the airframe I'll re-mount the Polini and try starting her up.

Progress with a 5-day warm forecast.

Very nice. The extra hands should be nice. I was solo, so a lot of masking tape came into play, along with some small plastic clamps. I also went a bit wide on the glue on the fabric, just to make sure it hit the mark.
