Default RE: Silk Covering Techniques

I realized I've got more questions about covering this Super Sportster than I originally thought. I'm attaching some pictures of it naked. What covering pattern would you suggest? I mean, I think I have a good idea of what panels I would cover how and in what order, but I just want to make sure I'm not too far off base.

My thinking is one panel per side of the horizontal and vertical stab. Then a small piece running the length of the area between the two on the top of the fuselage. Then one panel per entire side of the fuselage joining at the top of the stringers and along the topmost part of the front fuse (in front of the cockpit) and along the bottom center. Then 4 panels for the wings (2 pieces on top, 2 on bottom joining in the center).
