Heavy inspection on the DH-2 is quite the chore. There is a lot to look at! This machine is VERY active, as in up to 50 hours in a month. @aviationbrat is getting a workout operating a screwdriver opening and closing all the panels for inspection as screw guns are not allowed at RARE on aircraft panels. With all the ups and downs of crawling around a floatplane this big we’re all feeling it towards the end of this week. Perfection is the goal, once achieved, mission accomplished

Art is an imitation of life. Waco wing fabric & tape application. Strive for tidy tape intersections, transitions and corners while keeping them all straight. Good saturation/adhesion, not too much sauce, not to little, laying clean & just 🤌 Well done by @masteriles & @schufly4d
