Default RE: Covering Four star 40, and left instructions at school

First Sand To Atlest 400 Grit,Vacume The Modle And Wipe With A Tack Rag.Start Covering The fuse Starting From The Back To The Front.The Seams Overlap So the Gap Is To the Back Of The Plane.
The wings Cover The Bottom Than The Top WIth The Covering Around The Leading Edge.
To Apply Seal Around An Aera And Shrink With The Gun.You Might Make A Frame Out Of Scrap Balsa And Try That First.
To Find The CG.A Good Rule Of Thumb Is To Balance At The Main Spar Of The Wing.There Is A Post At My Flying Club Web Site On How It Is Done. http://www.lvrcs.com/content/index.php
i Like To Install The Radio And Engine Befor Covering ( Remove The Engine )

Good Luck And Have Fun With It.
