Well I`ve got all the seams sewed up and both sides stitched together.
The stand-off re-inforcements are sewn on, I like to do this before I fit the trailing edge as I think it makes for a cleaner look and dosn`t give the bridle anything to catch when sliding along the trailing edge, it`s just a personal preference and I`ve no evidence that folding the stand-offs over the trailing edge is any better or worse
They are Dacron on the top surface for toughness and ripstop on the bottom (the facing surface) just for looks and that is something you can`t do if folding.
I`ve fitted a small Dacron nose bag just to accomadate the spine, the main support comes from the leading edges and then the Cordura nose to cover it all.
The Dacron centre re-inforcement isn`t sewn on yet as next it`s the trailing edge but I`ve just layed it on there to eyeball it.
It`s a grey crappy day so apologies for the bad light on the pic and thanks guys for the encouragement and positive remarks
Edit: forgot to mention the fabrics!
The dark grey upper panel (leading edge) is "Icarex" with the black wing tips being 42gsm ripstop.
The light grey centre stripe is 42gsm ripstop as is the blue flash.
The white centre and trailing edge panels are "Icarex"
The trailing edges will be a ribbon cut from the black 42gsm ripstop and the leading edges Dacron.
