   Post on Conversion from Bat wing to sytraight trailing edge in Avidfoxflyers General Hangar

   Avideers:
    
   After putting on 4200 hours on my madel B STOL with the bat wing design I have decided to recover my wings.
    
   The fabric has been on the Avid since its inception in 1988. I did not build it.
    
   After removing the fabris I noticed the great workmanship the Craig Johnson put into it.
    
   A friend who is very good at working with fabiric airplanes is doing the work and is using the Stewart System
    
   I always wondered why my fabric would be so loose in colder weather and when I took off the fabric I could see why. The trailing edge wire had gotten loose over the yeras.
    
   We are going to put aluminum trailing edges on to replace the wire.
    
   It is amazing how much wing surface this change will add.
    
   I am anxious to see if there is any positive performance changes.
    
   I'll let this forum know one way or the other.
