Hi Don,
Great! Looking forward to the updates. If I might make a suggestion regarding covering, you could start with smaller pieces like the rudder and elevators then the ailerons...it's less intimidating that way, and easier to fix any issues (plus they'll be less noticeable) if you have any. Hopefully then you'll feel more at ease when you move on to the bigger pieces like the wing and fuse.
cheers,
Ken
