RUNS, God forbid!

That would be a plus, sounds like it would be easier to work with when using several colors, when finished painting all the patterns and graphics then I just need to clear coat the whole thing.

I plan on trying the stits covering, I plan on installing the rib tape with the glue, My last 1/3 scale plane I hand stitched the whole thing and it didn't take that much longer, plus it looked a lot better than the artificial way, applying tape with adhesive on the back doesn't work out well.
At least I had trouble with it.

I appreciate all the comments, it gets me thinking, and that's quite a feat anymore.

Thank you everyone for the ideas.
