I think you should see if Rob Bach would do one on some of the split gear issues and fixes he's identified if he's coming.

If there is interest in a comprehensive overview of fabric covering processes, materials, and techniques, I will volunteer to present a forum on this topic. This will be my first year to attend, so this topic may have been covered in past reunion forums. Don Brewer , tech counselor EAA # 302 , Conroe, TX
