Default RE: 1/5 Fokker Drl's

The fuses needed mega-repair! I removed the cheesy fairings to which the covering was firmly attached. Then new fairings were installed so the new covering would lay better.

The wings required MAJOR surgery. The ailerons have been mentioned. The wings had this goofy rear 'spar' on top surface that was proud thru covering. This was cut out of each wing and being there were two kits, that's a lot of sawing! The middle wings had an awful square shaped trailing edge in lieu of a nice air foiled transition so that required a lot of work. The last pic shows the fruits of this effort. Folks, after removing kit covering from bottom surface after the repair, one piece of Koveral was used to re-cover this wing, fairing and all.
