No, they're not having a duel. Tom and Nick are making sure that the iron isn't too hot so that when it is used to smooth out bubbles in the fabric, and flatten pinked edges that have popped up, it will not loosen the bond. The plastic inspection rings were glued into place, covered by Poly-Fiber and then attached using Poly-Brush.

Nick - is there something about that Pitot tube that looks wrong?
It looks suspiciously clean to me... |
The next challenge awaits. The inside area around the back windows and below the doors needs fabric, and Nick considers the obstacles that must be accommodated. Notice that the ceiling has already been covered. Nick came up with a way to rotate the fuselage in order to work from whatever angle is easiest. But nothing seems easy. "Sleep on it", it'll all be clear tomorrow (we hope).

I am very interested in your project airplane, as I am presently building a Wagabond from WagAero Inc. plans, but do to alot of previous knowledge and familarity of the short wing pipers, I have designed my airplane around a Piper Clipper more or less.
