I have a question for all of those following this build thread. First of all, RCU Member (and graphics guru) Minnflyer has put together several good how-to's on apply covering to an plane. They can be found at:

Please take a moment to look those over before answering this next question. What I would like to know is if anybody thinks that I should also do some video documentary of the covering of the PIF build. I personally don't think that I should "reinvent" the wheel here because Minnflyer has done such a great job on his videos (ok Mike, do I get my monthly royalty for the plug??
), but if anybody thinks that they would benefit from additional video of covering I would be more than happy to make additional videos of covering. Or, if anybody has any "problem areas" that they have trouble covering and would like to see how to do it please let me know and I will be more than happy shoot a video of me covering that area. Get your requests in quickly because I will be starting to cover quickly. Don't worry, I plan on doing the normal still picture coverage of the covering process, so there will be plenty to look at.
Ok, before somebody picks up on what I just said and nails me to the wall, yes I did say that I'm about to cover the plane. Like I said before in this thread, the build process is way ahead of the documentation process!
Sorry. I was hoping that I could get caught up this month as December is usually one of our slowest months of the year, but I was proved wrong this month. It has been non-stop hectic at work (don't get me wrong, being self employed I never complain about too much work). And on top of that my wife was sick last week so I had to sit in the shop to cover for her. All of that adds up to the fact that I haven't gotten the write-ups done that I had planned on. I will definitely get caught up this next week and get you all back up to speed. I do thank everybody for their patience as I am getting this done.
More later
