 J-3 Cub Construction Project Session #46

46 J-3 Cub Stab Warp Gone
 
In yesterday's report, I said the stab had warped when I shrunk the tissue with water. To clarify, it warped in torsion or "twisted", but it did not warp spanwise or "bow". This morning when I took it up from being weighted down overnight with the applied first coat of dope, the stab was straight as an arrow whooopeee :O)  I have tried to show the stab's straightness in the picture below.
 
Today I put a second coat of dope on the stab and let dry to the touch. Then I weighted it down again and will let this 2nd coat of dope cure for Mike's recommended five days.....................Tandy
