    Default Application of fin to fuselage fabric on a Vagabond

    I am almost ready to start covering my Vagabond's fuselage.
    What is the best technique to use to get the Ceconite fin fabric down and attached nicely to the top fuselage fabric?
    On the Vagabond there isn't a structural member down the centre of the fuselage like there is on a Pacer.
    There is, however, a formed support made of thin steel that runs from the LE of the fin to the centre of a cross channel.
    Can attach pic if that will help.

    Stewart systems has a good YouTube video of what they did. They show a Vagabond being covered, and show that exact area.

    Perfect - thanks!
    Never even thought to check YouTube.
    Better still that they chose that great airplane - the Vagabond!
