  • I was hired to install the fabric covering on a Christen Eagle II restoration out of California. I covered the plane using Poly-Fiber covering products.
    This video is a time-lapse of the fuselage only. You can find additional pieces of this plane being covered on my channel.

    I hope that you are using the best ventilation you can and that your breathing aparatus is great also. I'm 72 and today, breathing is a task due to COPD because I breathed a lot of the bad stuff.

    I hope one day I get a chance to build a plane. That looks fun and not so much at the same time. Seems like alot of work and when you appreciate your craft you would probably want everything just perfect. That's how this seems with this video. Amazing work

    Fantastic videos, but you make it look to easy, sounds crazy but it is fact, how about adding a timer for hours spent working so people understand how much work really goes into the builds you do.

    I'm very new to the channel. You do great work and I have an equipment question for you. Please excuse me if it's been asked many times, but what brand of iron is that, you are using on the fabric..??
    Thank you.

  • @birddogmason9862
    @birddogmason9862 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Two things I want to know. You covered the plane in a one position angle, instead of rotating the fuselage. Was there a reason? And second, you used a respirator? Was it much difference in products from the other cover job you did. Do you have preferences in products?

    Ok, stupid question warning. What kind of certificate does one need to be able to do aircraft coverings? Do you need an airframe certificate?

      Personal preference. I find it gives a nicer finish.

    Ha! You even use the same plastic clamps I use.
    Why do the bottom last?

    • @iapplyufly
      @iapplyufly  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The manual instructed that the bottom go on after the sides. It has to be so that the dust skirts can be attached to the outer skins once they are installed.

    You do such an incredible job with these airplanes. But... I've got a question that has been bothering me for, at least, 5 years now. I can't sleep at night. And I often alienate my friends and family, due to an exhausting search for the answers my degenerate ass deserves needs to know.
    Did you actually delete the video evidence of the "road cone" taking it's first flight from the back of "someone's" truck, via violent centrifugal forces?
    And... do you like nougat???

  • @jackingber7154

    What are you thoughts, or have you heard from people in your industry regarding AirTech over PolyFiber? The guys at my airport swear by AirTech because it takes so much less time and work. Whaddaya think?

    • @iapplyufly
      @iapplyufly  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have not yet had the opportunity to use any AirTech products.
