That was 2011 and I think the last major covering job I did. Damn those ARF's
I offered to cover a friends wing and stab for his Allure. Lighter alternative to the composite wings that come with the plane. Many of you will recognize the scheme as Dave L's he has been using it for quite some time.
A fairly simple scheme but the curves lend themselves to this process quite well. Much easier to make nice sweeping curves with a drawing program.
As far as the drawing program any vector based program will do. I use Corel Draw, been using it since Corel 3 which came on floppy disks. If you don't know what they were you are probably too young to remember cassettes, 8 track tapes and, vinyl records as well. (antiques like the rotary phone) Any vector based program will work and a fairly good free one is called Inkscape.
Even if you do not plan on cutting graphics or covering vector based programs are great for designing color schemes for your next plane.
Using the available 3 view this is what I drew and sent to Bryan of CK Aero for my custom schemed Allure
And the plane they sent me
