Default RE: Rebuilding a destroyed wood aircraft

I'm flying a JR 10X radio. The servos will either be 8611A's or 8711 servos which will work very well. Top of fuselage covered. They layout took exactly one roll split (half roll left and half roll right) of white. one roll for the bottom and about 3/4 roll for the top deck. Ultracote red and white. The covering technique is to cut a template from paper, taped in place. The trace the edges and cut the slot for the rudder. Start with an iron (covered with a sock to prevent scratching) and go from the top center, front to back, then work your way down from the top to the sides, pressing out the air and getting a good bond between the covering and the balsa.
