I am covering my first kit, a Four Star 40 with MonoCot. I having difficulties with covering around the wing seat and the front edges of the checks by the motor, I have cut the covering to conform around the radius but am having difficulties making the covering smooth and getting it to adhere. What are the techniques for covering these areas?

Thanks for you assistance,

All of those videos are great. I'm about to cover only the second plane I've built out of wood and those are going to help allot.

FWIW - If you have problems getting the covering to adhere (common at edges where the covering can not "wrap" around/over ) paint a strip of Balsarite OR SIG StixIt (preferred) on the area first and let dry. The heat from the iron activates the adhesive. If you decide to use StixIt be advised that the covering WILL ONLY COME OFF by applying heat to the area. Any attempt to remove the covering without the heat will result in damaging the balsa underneath it.
