Default RE: Images - Bev & Joel Flying A Trainer

Bob, The hobby shop sells strips of peel and stick monocoat in different colors. I just decided on the layout and cut out what I needed. I was told that black was the best contrast and that the stripes should be at least 3 inches wide to show up well high in the sky. I also added stripes on the underside of the stab as well. There may be at least one picture in the "Bev & Joel" series that shows the full underside. Word of advise. After you add stripes to the wing, overlap the leading edge of the wing with a strip of clear packing tape. That way the edges of your new stripes won't start to peel off. Hope this helps. Let me know.
