Glad to see your getting it built. Cut your covering just a bit bigger than the part your covering. I leave about 2 inches extra on all sides, but some will say that is too much. Lay the covering on the surface to be covered. Don't try to do it all at once. Top, bottom, then the sides seperately. I use a really sharp blade to trim the exess off carefully when done. Put the covering on the surface you are doing, after you peel the backing off. Use high heat, probably as hot as the iron will get. Test a piece on a scrap piece of wood. If it is a surface with solid wood, start with the heat in the center, working outward so you don't get bubbles. Don't try to go around the corners yet. Once you get it on the flat parts, start working the corners one at a time. Pull hard on the monokote haning loose and work the heat to make the corners without getting wrinkles. Go just a bit more than half way around the corners. Once you get it that far, take your sharp xacto or razor blade, and trim the exess. Don't cut against the wood, have the blade so it just cuts the monokote. After it is cut, use the iron to make sure the edges are all down.

If it is a surface like the wing, lay the monokot on the surface the same way. Do one panel at a time, left bottom, right bottom, left top, right top. Do the ailerons seperately. Start by getting the monokote on there flat, then start with the heat at the spar, or at the back, just tack it on for now, then get the leading edge done the same way. Try to get the wrinkles out before you use heat. Once you get it tacked all the way around, get it all glued good around the edges and trimmed, then go back and shrink the center over the ribs.



You may have an istructor help with this. It is way easier to have someone show you than to explain it.

Hope that helps.
