Covering the Tiger Moth Ailerons with Henry Riege

 Henry Riege, recently retired as an AME with about 1/2 a century of experience covering over 100 planes and plane components, agreed to be the lead for the fabric covering portion of the Tiger Moth Restoration!! Thank you Henry!!!

We started with the ailerons, using clamps borrowed from Vic Prefontaine and Gil Bourrier.  

 Rick Riewe  brushed on the first layer of Poly Brush.

 Adrian Mielleur and Henry Riege gluing the fabric to the 2nd aileron.

Al Tring cut the ribbons positioned over each rib and covered with a layer of poly brush.
