: It's been a short winter in that it doesn't seem that long ago that

: spent long hours getting the planes ready for another flying
: season and then since the first of January we've been busy
: flying. In a few weeks the Spring rush will be over and we'll
: have time to spend in the wood shop. So, I ordered a set of
: plans for the Sling Shot tonight. Ever since I saw the first

: cypress stringers and I'm going to use Bill Hamm's method for
: covering it. Hopefully it'll come in at around 35 pounds.

Hi Barry,

Spring? You must be much further south that me :)

If you have any questions at all about the covering, please feel free to ask, either here or privately.
