RE: Interest in build photos
Finally, the covering has commenced. I'm always a bit apprehensive about using something for the first time, but this Worldtex stuff is amazing. After having helped my dad cover his latest plane with Monokote, I'll never use any other iron-on covering than Worldtex. I could rave on and on about how easy it is to work with. It went around the carved wing tips like I was brushing on dope. Try it if you haven't already. I picked up a can of Minwax clear satin Polycrylic spray to seal the weave as I've read that dirt and oil can get down in it.
Tomorrow I'll cover the fuselage, fin, and wing and stab center sections. Here are a few pics. Note the Gamma Ray Mutant Maine Coon guarding one of her many cardboard boxes.
