Program covering continues for April
Ty Daniels and Don are going to continue to educate all those interested in learning how to cover a wood wing with fabric using the Stewart System covering process. The March and April meetings will be held on the 1st Saturday of each month (March 5th, & April 2nd) immediately following the chapter meeting beginning at 9:00AM. Plan on two hours for the program for each month.
The March meeting had a great start with many members and guests getting hands on experience with Stewart Systems and Ceconite. The April meeting will continue with covering the wing in its entirety and future program on rib stitching and painting. This is a great opportunity to get involved with a “hands on” learning experience.
