Did you notice that the wing covering is apparently a tarp secured with Velcro? If that works, why bother with all that tying, sewing, shrinking and doping? Vaughn |

With the removable tarp, it's easier to get the eels out, when it fills up. Consider the amount of power he has available in that engine, and the speed he's flying at. Weight is almost a non-issue. And since it disassembles and stores indoors, 'durability' in the face of extended exposure to 'the elements' is also only an 'incidental' consideration. |
