Dont worry about covering yet, we are here to help. I do not recommend Monokote, in my opinion its not for beginners. Use Ultracote, much easier to apply.
Please post your build, I always enjoy viewing, and easier to help you if you do. You picked a great kit. What are you going to power it with? Are you building it 3-channel or 4-channel?
Had to comment on your not recommending Monokote. I've used Monokote since the early 80's and I've also used Ultracote and I still prefer Monokote. I might add that I did find Ultracote a tad easier to stretch around compound curves but I also found that in the life of the airframe I had to reshrink and reshrink the covering after it had been exposed to any kind of heat at the field and I never have had that problem with Monokote. I do think though that for a first build it really doesn't matter because it's a learning curve and destined for repair...........
Cheers,
