Thanks, Mark

Mark,

It's really easy to do. All I do is lay the wing on top of the Ultra cote (Ultra cote face up) and just draw the outline of the wing. I leave it long on the trailing edge and just trim it back a bit with a straight edge. I used to coat the edges with clear, but found I don't need to. I was getting more lifting with the clear than just leaving the edge raw.
