Fabric Replacement Warning #22

Warning against being overkeen on fabric replacement.

Changing the fabric on ailerons and flaps is a real 'pig' of a job. So unless it really needs doing, I would recommend leaving it till you have to. The fabric is pulled tightly over the frame, no heat was used on mine. I made some jigs to do it, even so it was difficult. Graham said I should have used some Mr Sheen on the frames first. Might have helped. The fabric tension holds the ailerons together, so they need to be tight."
