46 J-3 Cub Stab
Warp Gone
In yesterday's report, I said the stab had warped
when I shrunk the tissue with water. To clarify, it warped in torsion or
"twisted", but it did not warp spanwise or "bow". This morning when I took
it up from being weighted down overnight with the applied first coat of
dope, the stab was straight as an arrow
whooopeee
:O) I have
tried to show the stab's straightness in the picture below.
Today I put a second coat of dope on the
stab and let dry to the touch. Then I weighted it down again and will let
this 2nd coat of dope cure for Mike's recommended five
days.....................Tandy
