OUR PLANE IS READY FOR COVERING THE FUSEALGE! LIFE
SLOWED OUR DEDICATED WORK TIMES ON OUR UC-61K. ANYWAY,
IF YOU HAVE ANY DETAIL PICTURES OF THE STRINGER THAT
RUNS JUST UNDER THE FLAP PULLEYS, ABOVE THE REAR
WINDOWS, AND THE PORT SIDE STRINGERS THAT FOLLOW THE
FRAME TILL IT ENDS, WE HAVE SOME THOUGHTS, AND SECOND
THOUGHTS, THEN THIRD... WOULD BE NICE TO SEE SOMEONE
ELSES SUPERB WORK!
