Fabric Covering SuperSTOL Fuselage using Poly-Fiber System

[@tileman1814]

I have been involved in covering several aircraft the first one in 1966 and I'll be the first to say it is good to see the skills the one needs to have to cover an aircraft is alive and well!! God Bless!!

[@madeleinemcandrews6712]

You are nothing but a champion, the type of woman people of all ages can look up to. Someone that when other women see you work, they can aspire to be compared with. Great job. 😊

[@georgeglass1748]

Wow, No talking, just great info, flow, and music. What a concept, I love it. I watched the whole thing wanting more....

[@stefanmargraf7878]

Most amazingly: she did it without gloves! She is able to work so precise and without spilling the epoxy around or on her hands!

[@raylarkin5004]

What could be more satisfying than a start to finish complete process of a detail necessary piece of work on you tube! And being a dad of 3 grown women I certainly enjoy that she is so skilled. Great video! 👍

[@sfcmathews32]

I like the way you keep your shop tidy. It says a lot about your character and attention to detail.

[@dnick1981]

I love a good timelapse. And anything plane related. And it is always satisfying watching someone who has mastered a skill.

[@bluehornet6752]

I'm an A&P who has covered a number of aircraft components using the STITS (Polyfiber) process. You did an AMAZING job! Strong work, and thanks for the memory jog...as I haven't done it for a number of years.

[@groomlake51]

Her craftsmanship is unreal😲 no joke them are some very skilled hands. Very impressive

[@sideshowbob5237]

Who on earth could dislike this. I watched it twice for the technical content. Hopefully the young lady's excellent craft skills and evident work ethic bring in a steady flow of work and generate a good living. Who would watch rubbish (UK) TV when KZbin brings us stuff like this?

[@Andysfishing]

I’ve watched a few of your videos. They all seem to be time lapse. It would be good to hear you explain the process.

[@joemeyeres769]

I can see this is not her first cover job. Very nicely done young lady!!!

[@crasher9131]

I am an A&P and she did better than some i have seen . Great Job

[@jiffibay]

is so nice to see a young girl in the today's days working so hard and so well 👍

[@BruceBusby]

Great job. Your attention to detail makes me think I'd be very comfortable flying an aircraft that you have worked on

[@Ripper13F1V]

Great attention to detail. I was once told covering was a lost art. Well, if it was, you found it!

[@dave7200]

This very hard working young lady must have done this several times before. It really looks like shes a pro and very pleasing to see such a young person taking such pride and working so hard at a task. Well done!! Be proud as well you should be!

[@SURF-kb6nz]

Гордиться можно когда за работу нормальные деньги платят, а самое главное когда твоя работа тебе счастье несёт☝️

[@aghauler1964]

Brilliant craftsmanship, in todays fast gratification lifestyle this talented young woman is a master. Thank you for sharing🌷❤🌷

[@retiredtom1654]

Wonderful to watch young people doing good work. We hear far too much negative, so the good things help us to know the world is better than the news would have it. That being said, I, like "eyeeye" wrote, keep the fresh air around you. That dope is a killer to our liver, lungs and other parts. Fly safely! Oh, by the way, nice looking airplane!

[@bohartzapprentice2574]

Holy smokes she is skilled!!!!! Absolutely beautiful work!!!!

[@drewalsup9200]

Right on, this is like building balsa wood and tissue paper model planes on a full size scale, so cool

[@TheRealChetManley]

She is a pro! She makes it look easy lol. When I am ready to build in a few years I would like to have someone as talented as you do this part for me.

[@captpbiswas]

I really appreciate your work of perfection and your skill... Good luck

[@ConvairDart106]

I know who I want to recover my Eros! Beautiful craftsmanship by a beautiful, and talented, young woman!

[@ThalassTKynn]

I don't think I've ever seen this process from start to finish in such detail before. Kinda fascinating.

[@Heathfx5]

So satisfying seeing how crisp the fabric looks after running the iron over it!

[@v12tommy]

Wow, you make that look so easy. I'm glad to see young people like me taking on a project like that.

[@zeto4u]

So much attention to even the smallest step. Thanks it was really a pleasure watching you put so much Love in what you did.

[@JMTosses]

Well done - I'm gonna show this to my 5 year old son who discovered planes as his new favourite video addiction. He loves to make planes from any material but currently mostly legos, duplos and magnetic bricks. He'll be blown away watching you make a plane. Awesome! Thanks for sharing and great job! Cheers! JM

[@danielburke6536]

That what therapeutic to watch, first time seeing fabric being applied to a real aircraft.

[@johnb4183]

That rotary jig has to be a real back / time saver , excellent work!

[@iapplyufly]

They are the best!!

[@christophersimmins3181]

Top notch video...fastidious taping etc ,immaculate hanger, excellent ventilation system ... no doubt well trained from traditional old school fabric instructor. My wife commented on your delightful blonde plait...'beautiful'

[@iapplyufly]

Thank you! I’m actually self-taught and learned all my tricks through trial and error. I learn how to do something better with every cover job!

[@bruceharrington1429]

What a professional covering expert! I've done my old Kitfox, and a friends J3/Pa11, and helped others with a Champ, and a friend who finished Christen Eagles and other special projects after I retired from McDonald Douglas as a Senior Systems Analyst(software Engineer!). None of my work looked as good as yours! You rank right up there with the Gal at Culver Props who makes custom wood propeller blades.

[@igorsanchez408]

Love to see such craftsmanship. Perfect young lady.

[@BigFiveJack]

Our Intrepid Craftswoman KNOWS Her Trade!!! Holy Mackerel That Was Impressive As All Get Out!

[@UncleBoratagain]

Every encouragement should be given to women who join the aircraft engineering profession. We only had one in a course of about 20 in 1984! Equality of opportunity is the way forwards.

[@forrestwiley9866]

Awesome video,,,brngs back many memories back in the l;ate 60's n 90's , My old Starduster required rib stitching in the prop wash 1 /12", outside 2 1/2"...I did all the stitches 1 1/2" just "to be on the safe side. You work is flawless and to be admired, You had a good teacher,,,,:)

[@craigjhr]

Watching this makes me think I could recover my Super Viking in a weekend.

[@jamesrogers4674]

Do it if it needs it. Bet the deconstruction and prep would be as much work. Might make it two weekends.

[@johnbonner922]

Time lapse it and finish in 10 min. :o)

[@rcdogmanduh4440]

One of those things in life that are just nice to watch being done, great vid!

[@tisoy909]

Awesome! It must be the best feeling when you put your love into a machine like that. A machine that you can fly in too.

[@cleaterose5914]

I never saw this technique before. Learned a lot.

[@bretmuldner]

I always loved doing the fabric! It always looks so good....

[@frisbeephil]

Before you started adding color I was so hoping for big Zebra stripes. Outstanding attention to detail.

[@falcon7350]

God this takes me back to my high school days . 40 planes where given out over the high school here in FL way back in the day late 90s . no 1 wanted to make the FP202 we got for my school so me and 1 other guy made it all on are own. some of the kids at are school made holes in a Fabric work so we had to recover the hole plane 2 times and some parts 3 to 4 times .after that we got are own locked room. yeah them where the days

[@wa9kzy326]

Ah the days of covering a plane in fabric. I remember them well.

[@dufus2273]

reminds me of Rosie the riveter of ww II era. great job.

[@Henry-n7n8]

very nice job, you sure know how to cover an airframe, really like the rotating frame jig, sure made covering easier.

[@richarrrdj]

thanks for sharing all your hard work. Hope it lasts a long, long time and that you can pass this superstol down to your daughter (some day.)

[@Islandgunguy]

You do outstanding work. When I do my build I hope I can do as good a job as you. Keep up the great videos. If you have the time to make a how to video , the steps and your tricks would be awesome. Thanks for posting.

[@oldguysrule-iv7sh]

As I always say,it takes a ladies touch, good looking job

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You make it looks so easy! Nice work!

[@stephenwissel7902]

You are a true artist. Nicely done.

[@alexaymerculief983]

Beautiful work and more power to you for showing us that a woman can and will do excellent work. I wish more women would be interested and inspired by your work. Keep her upright and the blue skies above you.

[@godbluffvdgg]

Wow! She's an amazing builder..She's got a great niche business going on!

[@micknkazslater5977]

wow, what a craftsperson, amazing, and too think, (i guess) this is what the aviation pioneers did also. I am in awe!

[@MarioCavicchi]

last year i've assisted a my friend in a same job on the same airplane (a kitfox i presume) and It's not as easy as it looks. Well done ... very good job.

[@philup4947]

Lots of skill to make it look easy beautiful work

[@tigerseye73]

Young Lady, you have incredible skills. What a super job you did on that airframe! One seldom finds such excellence nowadays.

[@andydentremont7512]

I find it amazing that you did all this work and only a little over 10 minutes

[@jimsnodgrass8454]

My god, that's a lot of detailed work.. excellent job.. hope it's still flying and that it's all held together well since it appears this video is now a couple years old..

[@Jude13able]

Wow this bring back memories for me back in my airframe class.

[@Neilazbiker]

She is so fast I could barely see her hands move. That's amazing. Woowee!

[@edadan]

Reminds me of building model airplanes when I was a kid!

[@davealley2761]

Having done an Avid Flyer, Citabria, And Acrosport2, I can say you are for real!

[@Kdrel]

Hello, Ray from California waving four fingers and a thumb! excellent job. I have completed a few of those myself. Looking forward to future videos...

[@apaulothegreat1581]

[@MrPILOTSTEVE59]

You can be proud of you skills young lady. I would love to see it fly.

[@danafield4696]

Beautiful job and a eye for detail . Wonderful craftsmanship !

[@MACE1-1]

Yep, some lucky guy is going to snatch this lady up one day...Its great to see young talent in the tube and fabric business!

[@kevpf]

Thank you so much for the video! You have given me hope that I can do the same. Great work and I look forward to more!!!

[@dandahermitseals5582]

Wow !!! Serious skill n great looking craftsperson !!

[@neriksen]

There’s certainly an old soul in there somewhere.

[@truetourtillott8288]

That is oddly mesmerizing.

[@enotdetcelfer]

Oof, I love the part-edge-part-curve that happens right where the empenage skin swoops out into the elevator. Feels almost aquatic.

[@stacy3633]

Nice clean work..and super tidy..I would have glue everywhere

[@airman64]

Beautiful Young lady ..What a great job you've done.

[@jeffreyshingleton6023]

Feel the Teal..........great video

[@boyhowdy5893]

When I went to aviation school we had to learn to stitch the fabric!

[@NearlyNativeNursery]

Excellent video and love the Acoustic guitar artist music. Great job. We love to have you describe the process. All the Very Best!

[@e-rj8984]

Super nice Lady who knows exact how to do this! Covering is h... of a job some times... Believe me! VERY impressing! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@jontallman3878]

I love seeing a young person true talent!!

[@hunt4fish]

It is an art isn't it? Have covered a few myself using same system and it grows on you! Great workmanship!

[@vincentmolloy5660]

Well done girl. A covering job professionally done. I have done this for years and can see you know the tricks of the trade.

[@n9308x]

Wow. That was fantastic! Thanks for the video.

[@Reaper4367]

Bloody good job there! Cheers for sharing.

[@donaldmccombs5566]

That was amazing to watch, now I wanna do it.

[@truechaos877]

No idea why this video popped up but that is cool! I had a general idea of how that was done but I've never seen it being done until now.

[@curtmaciejewski7136]

You seem to be very good at what you do. Maybe you'd want to share some of what you've learned with newbies like myself who are blindly feeling their way through the process. Good work!

[@dennisschwandt2633]

like usual....beautiful work!

[@NorthForkFisherman]

Used this material to recover a rebuilt PA-20 Pacer wing after a groundloop. Good stuff. Still think I can do the damn knots in my sleep, I tied so many of them.

[@dr1llb1t8]

You go girl. Great job.

[@anelon]

Very well done. Thanks for posting.

[@timyattaw162]
