      I helped Geoff previously on recovering Pumpkin’s rudder. Very interesting and fun. Geoff is a very good instructor.

      One guy working and 2 guys standing around supervising.  That’s about right.

      Looks fake.  Photoshop?  I’ve never seen an SSI project where there wasn’t at least 1 person standing around.  Where is George Santos?  He’s the World’s Greatest Fabric Doper.  I’m calling B.S. on this!

      Work continued today with Geoff, Don and myself adding the first side of fabric to both pieces of the horizontal from Stars and Stripes. More is planned for tomorrow as well as the strut work on the Pawnee.

      Today was very productive. The horizontals for Stars and Stripes are close to being finished. Later this week there will be one more session to apply the last tapes and then off to the paint shop.

      The fabric repairs are complete! Thanks to all that assisted. Today the horizontal and elevator of Stars and Stripes were installed and the horizontal and elevator for the Pawnee were installed. Some minor touchup needs to be done and we will be ready to fly.

      Weather permitting there will be assembly taking place sometime next week. We have 3 weeks to get this done so the first opportunity to get started we will let you all know.

      Thank you

      Steve
