Put the Champ back on the ground (off the fuselage rotator stands) for the first timeand I have a couple of new wrinkles in the fabric on one side high, just below where the horiz stab attaches to the fuselage (I have the oversized bolt-on stab). I just recovered with Polyfiber, and no wrinkles were present before, but I did have a tough time getting the fabric to shrink as much as I wanted to in that area. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Re: wrinkles in fabric
I was in the hangar an hour ago, with my head in the cockpit. A friend dropped by to look at my wrinkles and asked where they were. I told him and he said that there were no wrinkles in that area. I walked around the airplane to show him and, I'll be damned, no wrinkles! I have no idea were they went, but I hope they are permanently lost.
