I to'd ya it would be a quick build!!

As for covering, you'll be doing the wings with tape, yes? My foam wing is taped and I'm happy with it. It's done with colored tape, 2" width.

Ask for "Zagi tape" at your hobby shop and they'll know what you're talking about if they know anything about electrics. So you only need to cover the fuselage with actual covering, and even that you can paint instead of cover. Just do a light coat if you do.

The fuselage is such a quick job that I'd hate to see you have to go out and buy something just for that, unless you're hooked and will be getting more kits now!

Is there someone you know who is in the hobby and can lend you a covering iron? That's what you need for the fuse, not a gun. If you do need to purchase one, I use a very simple and inexpensive one that I got from the hobby shop. It's the Hobbico Custom Sealing Iron. Has a heat adjusting knob. Price was fifteen bucks.

You're REAL close to having that puppy in the air!

Enjoy!
