Hi Kolbers,

As of yesterday Ms. Dixie's wings are covered and back home. Had one scarey moment on the interstate when a semi passed pops at a high rate of speed and cut over in front of him    the wings and the rig they were riding on tried to take flight! Other tan that they had a nice ride home. Couple of things for the archives and future builders or folks covering that I ran into.... first was the covering kit I bought from ATS aka Jim Miller. It's a tad over kill. I would recomend Jim as a point of purchase but not the covering "Kit" as per say. The "kit" is put together by TNK and lacks certain items and has to much of others. For an example one will need, or at least it's easier to have some 4" "bias" tape for the wing tip bows. I cant Imagine trying to get a smooth edege with the supplied 4" tape that came with the "Kit". Next is the fabric rivets. I was not happy with the ones that came from Jim. Although they are "certified" and used on alot of airplanes..the guy who coached me in my covering didnt like them and had some that were much nicer. the edeges of these rivets were rounded and pulled into the reinforcing tape much cleaner. If anyone is at this stage and wants part numbers for the rivets let me know.
