Gear covering

[1938BF50]

Wasn't there a thread showing the steps of gear covering with lots of pics? I tried searching. Do you AK guy's just cover the belly triangle, and if so how do you transition to the open gear triangle?

There is suppose to be a solid wire 1/8" maybe 3/16" diameter between the leg mounts toward the bottom side. The lower fabric goes over the top of the wire to form the inside triangles and the wire is taped over. This also allows the top half of the fabric to tuck under the gear mount and have access to the nuts on the mounts. If you don't cover the leg, just cover to that wire.

Hey Scott, what were you doing in my workshop?

(Happy new year to you!) I enjoyed the articles in the EAA rags this year!

A little simultaneous posting there I think... Great minds and all that.
Happy new year to you too,

Thanx guys, that is exactly what I was looking for.

I cover the top of the triangle to prevent debris from collecting in there.

I was going to do the same Mike.
