Default RE: Sig LT-40 Build

Got my lower wing checkers applied tonight...



Used windex to get them into position and then tacked down the edges after squegeeing out the windex. Heating the middle of the piece only seemed to cause a steam bubble to form so I just stuck with tacking down the edge of the tiles.

Next plane I do I will do the primary covering in Ultracoat and then the graphics in Monokote as I have read it's easier to deal with.

Ultracote over Ultracote sucks for this newb. All of my covering has went well but in the places where I have ultra over ultra it's been less than pretty.

Total build time: 86 hours
