One little side project was the wing walk. The OEM spec is for a "rubberized canvas", which is not available any more. Not to mention, rubber does not survive direct sunlight very long. After sweating this for many months, I stumbled on a blanket of silicone rubber coated fiberglass cloth that welders use. It is impervious to UV light, has the exact texture pattern of rubberized canvas, and will not burn in temps up to 1800 degrees...perfect! Well, almost. Silicone is tricky to glue. So, I set up a test board using all the glues sold at Home Depot. I glued down patches, threw the board down on the garage floor and walked over it for a week. The winner? Loctite PL Marine. Best of all, it comes in a large tube, so one tube was enough for both wings. Bonus!
I apologize for the pictures being at the end of the posts. I forgot how to imbed them, but I'll work on remembering for the next posts?!?l
