Got time to finish covering the fuselage, bottom to top and back to front...

Prepped the tail feathers for covering by trimming the seams... (thanks to RCKen for his pics in his LT-40 build thread)



Covered the lower sides...



This covering piece had some wrinkles that came out easily by
hovering a hot iron over a few spots to shrink and pull it tight...



Covering the tail pieces was difficult at first but I learned a lot while covering
this plane so the next one will go smoother. Trick for me to covering the tail
surfaces was to trim the covering piece on the leading edge and inner edge and
then the outter edge and trailing edge could be trimmed once the piece was in
place. Assured a clean line on the leading edge.





Can see that the leading edge here is consitent. I'm not good enough yet to assure a
clean edge when trimming leading edge pieces while on the plane.





Done covering the fuselage...





I have two trim pieces I need to cover and install on this side of the cowl which will
fill in around the engine a little completing the look of the cowl.





Time to install the guts of the the plane next. Going to balance the plane, add
weight to the wing ends if needed and then cover the wings.

Gettin there!
