Ok Gang, As promised here are the photos of the tail group recover. I tried something different this time. Last time I used one piece of fabric for each piece of the tail. That is one per side on the horz. and one for the vertical fin. The technique used last time was to start on the bottom, wrap the cloth arount to the top, bring the edge over the L/E and finish on the bottom. I found that this left a rather large overlap on the lower surface and try as I might it was hard to finish it off. This time I laid a piece on the bottom, after the dope set I cut the edge off with a razor blade right at the surface edge. NO overlap. The top piece is doped on in the normal maner with a slight overhang. Once the dope starts to set wrap the edge over and trim the excess at the centerline of the stabilizer. This gives a very slight overlap right on the leading edge and with one coat of dope it is invisable.

I added a small "patch under the Horz. stab where the it joins the fuse. at the rear. There is a void there and this fills it.

The Vert. stab is covered the same way as the Horz. except that I left extra material where the stab and fuse join. The fabric is doped at the edges of the fuse. and along the L/E of the stab. When heat is applied the fabric pulls away to give the "Belly" effect. I think you can see iyt in the photo taken from the rear. On the full size plane the vertical stab and fuselage were covered using a bag. that gave a contour to the covering that bowed out as it hit the fuselage. The horz. stab was then bolted to the fuseat the top longeron. I think my technique approximates this full size look.
