Default RE: Here's our trainer! (A work in progress)

Finally, some work is being done on the trainer![sm=thumbup.gif] We've been busy lately on getting this thing into the air. If we didn't start hustling, we'd be looking at having to equip it with skis!

Eva is pretty good with an iron, so I made good use of her! I did some covering, too (mostly posing).

We've got the wing covered and I wanted to show you all our work and ask a few questions.

We used an iron for all of the flat surfaces and used the iron and heat gun on the wing. You can see our work in the pics below.

We pulled and stretched and pulled and swore and we never could get all of the wrinkles out of the wingtip. Is is possible to get it smoother than this?

And how do you get a perfectly straight cut along the edge when you are finished? Ours looks kind of ragged. I like to refer to it as "good from far, far from good".
