Last weekend I was helping out with some rib stitching on an E-AB Cub clone that is undergoing repairs after a hard landing. I found that rib stitching wasn't as hard as I was led to believe, just tedious. Also, the plane was being re-covered with Polyfiber products. The fumes from those chemicals did live up to their reputation. A non-toxic alternative definitely has my attention.
Stewart Systems. Looks like a good choice. I really learned a lot from watching this. I also asked in another post if you thought a 1/2 VW would be okay to use on the Affordaplane. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks again for another great video.
New subscriber here. Great video. I am building a Morgan three wheeler and it is supposed to be built like an old airplane with stretched fabric . What Fabric would you suggest as it will not be flying only driving..lol Should I paint it with aircraft dope to make it stiff ? thank you so much. It is such a big project.
That was just a demonstration - so fabric type was not considered. Virtually any of the popular, modern fabrics can be used with the Stewart System. I WILL discuss our options for the Aplane project in a future video.

Thank you so much for start again this video series sir!!
Welcome back & much obliged for adding a demo that supports the comparison & choice for covering. Love your companion's outdoor enclosure too!
Such an easy system to learn. Its SO nice to use.
I was able to cover my tail feathers at the kitchen table while the family was eating nearby : ) No smell, easy to use, strong.
Another excellent vid! Thank you so much for this video series!

Low and slow,, I'd cut to the chase and use oracover!!!! Traditional covering take many steps with mine fields along the way.

Whereabouts in Wisconsin are you waiting for the improved weather? Southeastern, central, northern?
Door County Peninsula. Need freezing days to disappear for good for proper building comfort!
