Hi Joe--
May be looking at an -18T re-cover myself or maybe a repair. Nasty because
the airplane is painted in US polyurethane. Haven't opened it up yet, but
assume its stitched in the usual commie through-the-holes-in-the-rib fashion
I know folks who have stitched Yak/CJ controls in the usual around-the-rib
AC43-13 method and seems to work fine. Likewise pop rivets. My experience
with DOSAAF/PLA stitching is they didn't tie at each loop so when it one
stitch breaks they all go. So I just do the commie method but tie at every
stitch, which may be what the DOSAAF/PLA 43-13 equivalent sez to do but they
neglect in the field? Reinforcing tape?
Anybody have a source for linen or grade A? Nitrate or butyrate with a
decent solids count? The Stits equivalent runs like water.

Subject: 18T fabric
Has anyone recovered the wing surfaces on an 18T?
I am starting to recover ours using Stits material and would like to
Use standard ribstitching.(through the wing and around the ribs rather
Than sewing to the cloth wrapping on the ribs),
Comments please
Joe

Hi Jerry
The stab, elevators, fin and ailerons are the same as the chinese system
which I am familiar with but the wing is done by
wrapping the rib caps with bias tape then sewing the fabric to the tape.
I plan to use the through the wing around the ribs standard method.
