Covering My Full-Size Sopwith Camel Aircraft in Fabric | Ready for Paint! 

Fantastic work, Scott she is going to look amazing when done...😊

Love your updates! Your attention to detail is incredible. Keep up the great build.

Nice covering job, Scott, it's looking really good! And it's great to see the finished shape emerging, very satisfying indeed. When it came to shrinking fabric of the turtledeck, I was concerned that higher temperatures would bend or distort the wooden stringers. I consulted Robert, who suggested that turtledeck fabric be shrunk only enough to flatten the fabric - in other words, the lowest temp (250 degrees F in my case) was used just once or twice, until the wrinkles were gone. The rest of the fuselage fabric being on steel can easily support a full course of multiple increasing shrink temperatures. Keep up the good work! John SE5a

Hi Scott you do great work, it's good to watch. For your tent, a roll of roofing alfoil from the hardware could be draped over. Also, to keep heat in your head, grab a Collingwood beanie lol

Sensational Rowdy!

Top quality workmanship and the build process very well described 👍👍

Looking awesome dude!

Looking awesome mate

Satisfying when you start covering acreage with fabric, it would seem. Excellent progress! Always look forward to the next episode.

This is so fun to watch.. you are doing great. I would love to do a full size bird myself, but I will live vicariously threw you lol

She's coming along very nicely indeed. You are doing a first class job and building something of which you should be very proud.

Thanks Scott!

Great stuff Scott. Lots of progress. A big bang for your bucks.

It’s looking wonderful, and really great progress being made

Your build of the Camel is extremely interesting, as is your commentary as you go. What is involved with ‘certification’? Your Camel is not ‘certified’, but does that mean that it is not permitted to engage in aerobatics, or is there something else? I really like your corner reinforcement pieces, top work!

"Achimengels" in Germany, who's been making original Fokker copies for years, interestingly wraps all tubing with strips of lozenge fabric before covering. Wow! What a pain! And is there really an advantage with today's glues.

Hey Scott, I photograph aircraft and would love to come down to YLTV and take some photos of your aircraft once it’s finished!

Hi Scott, Great progress! Just wondering what tyres you chose for your Camel? They look good and should be the same for our Sopwith Baby. Cheers.

Hey Scott just found and subscribed looks good are you in Melbourne you said it was cold also what system are you using for your coverings
