I do exactly as you described above. Covering is nice because if you get wrinkles, they go away with heat. I use clear ultracoat and do the bottom of the wing/surface, and do one side of the rudder.
Joe - do you use standard clear ultracote or the ultra-light stuff? I've got the ultra-light stuff and it's miserable to work with for hinge gaps.

Not the ultra light stuff. I got that once by accident and don't like it. It is lighter, but when you're talking about a 3/4" strip x 32" long, the weight savings is marginal.

I really, really like straight-up ultracoat, for all of my covering needs. So easy to work with.
