Dan said the equipment list. There are many books out that tell you how to cover a plane. It isnt really all that hard in the first place. Your first covering job obviously wont look as good as your 5th or 6th, but that's not a problem. People on this board will be glad to help you with covering questions. If you can find a club first, someone there should be willing to have you over to their house the next time they cover a plane, or they might come over to your house to help you.
