| Fabric for Ray's top wing laid out on the Nieuport. This was done so that the preliminary cutting can be accomplished. | Ray's top wing before he rib stitches it. He has already punched properly spaced holes in the fabric. | |||

| Rear view of Ray's top wing before he rib stitches it. The date is June 9, 2002. | Here Ray is rib stitching on June 10, 2002. Note that the curved rib stitching needle cost about $6.60 and the straight one $2.15. So Ray bought a straight needle, heated about 1" from the tip to low red heat, and bent it into the proper angle, saving $4.45! | |||
