RE: Covering solid fuselage
pic 1 - stab after the tack strips have been added
pic 2 - STARTWITHTHEBOTTOM - stab bottom covered starting by sealing at the fuse then pulling to the tip. Ultracote shrinks nicely over the tip - no cuts needes
pic 3 - the stab trailing edge
pic 4 - the stab leading edge
pic 5 - shrinking the wrinkles - notice the marbled / smooth difference? marbled before shrinking - smooth and shinyyny after shrinking
pic 6 - finished stab bottom
pic 7 - repeat on top
pic 8 - finished bottom of stab
pic 9 - fin covering red-n-white - rather than covering in white then adding red trim a panel with 1/4" overlap was made on glass
pic 10 - fin side finished again starting at fuse then pull-n-stretch to the tip making sure that the seam is NOTdistorted
pic 11 - back side of finished panel
pic 12 - oops - a red tack strip added to make sure there is no white stripe shows
