    What a wonderful skillful lady and such an asset to Fantasy of Flight in being able to do these fiddly time consuming jobs,the upper ones are going to be even more difficult to do,such attention to historic detail really completes the restoration job,this is such an evocative aeroplane which displays the German engineering of its time so well,we are honoured to be able to see these insights first hand like this and it was a pleasure to watch Andrea form that leather as she did around the struts,thank you once again for allowing us these deep insights into aircraft restoration at its finest.

    All you needed was Vegetable-tanned leather. It will fold and take a shape easily, no need to use sheep leather. Obviously what you tried before was Mineral (chromium) tanned leather which will NOT take a shape.

    I have a tupid question. Why is the stitch facing the leading edge? I'm thinking smooth air flow. Hmmm, looking at it more I guess if that was attempted the brace wire would need to be removed and feed through a hole in the leather. Maybe that would be too much work... just thinking...

  • @angelreading5098

    @angelreading5098

    If you look carefully you will see that the strut bracing wires are firmly encompassed by the leather boots,if they were the other way around then it would be difficult to form the shape properly,the boots fit snugly around that complex area,the boots are also more secure that way too.

    Yea, I'm looking at this view at 17:00 and the rear boot she's is working on. That would be difficult to form around the brace rod. First having to remove the rod first to slip into a hole in the boot if the stitching were to face the rear. Awesome skills! TY!
