Modified Stits lite process begins - modified as in the PolyTak is thinned 3:1 and then two coats are brushed on to the surfaces that you want to glue down. Then fabric is glued down by passing a paper towel saturated with Polyfiber thinner over the fabric laying on the coated surface.

Bottom first as the top/sides piece will wrap around to the bottom to hide the seem.

Then the top and sides

Trimming the edges and ...... almost makes me consider a see-thru type of color scheme -
With the dorsal fin installed.

Winglet support structure installation before wing covering.

wax paper around the tube works great for making wing tubes, just the right amount of clearance.

One of the minor things, Tail wheel control.

The Robart control arm is thicker than a standard Klevis connector ....and then I remembered I had some Robart control horns with thicker connectors ends ( for my ......uhmmmmm...........1/3......Schweizer 2-33........)

Ah, just use them on the Smelly, you won't need those for a while on the 2-33.

Profile sanding the wingtip winglet and fiberglassing the Left tip winglet airfoil.

Covering the wing and shrinking to 300 F in 25 degree increments

Cutting the overlap worked pretty good

PolyTak was applied around the servo cover / landing gear openings before covering, then after shrinking, thinner was applied around the area to glue it down.
