Folks,
I am now in the planning phase of the fabric covering of my project (Tooling / Glue etc.…) and I stumbled upon a little detail in the drawing from Piper Aircraft Corp. concerning the grommets.
I know that there were a lot of discussions concerning the installation of grommets. Seaplane versus flat grommets. Grommets versus making a hole with a soldering iron …But I have not seen discussions (unless I missed it) about location and number of grommets on the Cub.
When you look at the drawings (Thanks to Christian Sturm for his website and North Land drawings) Piper stipulates the numbers and location of grommets during the installation of the fabric. After a rough estimate, I come up to almost 100 grommets to be inserted into the fabric!!!
What do you guys do / did for your plane???
