Default RE: Another Covering Question

Scott,
I don't think the seams front to back would be particularly attractive no matter how nicely done. For the top of the wing I would add a design such as a sun burst, or solid panel using another color(s). Make sure you start from the rear of the wing in laying these out so wind doesn't catch the seam.

For the bottom of the wing. Since the width of you fuse is hiding the center part of the wing...don't cover this part. I would coat this uncovered area with a 50/50 mix of epoxy and alcohol. Make sure you extend the Monokote inboard an inch or so. When applying the epoxy/alcohol mixture extend it over the Monokote edge by about 1/4". This will keep the Monokote from eventually fraying up as you put on and take off the wing.

I'm sure you'll get other advise, but that's how I would do it.
