May 21st - Starting the bottom sheeting

 Today we glued in 1/2" square strips at the join between the spar and the top sheeting.  This creates a lot more surface area to adhear to and also pulls the sheeting down tight on all edges.

We also started on the bottom sheeting.  The inboard panels for the center and front sections are in place, but not all glued down.

As we were about the glue down the bottom leading edge sheeting, we realized that we hadn't installed a Pitot static system yet!

Dad had ordered the tube a while back, so we had the material.  We started uncoiling the tube and making the pitot tube.  We then decided to add the static tube next to it.  We followed plans we found to create the static tube and installed it.
