ChopperMan: Start with the iron set at the recommended temp for whatever brand covering you are using. I usually cover 1/2 of the wing at a time. Cut the covering about 4" longer than the wing and about 2" wider. Give your self some pull area and roll area on the end of the wing.

On a fully sheeted wing, start on the bottom. Tack the covering to the leading edge. I start at the center of the wing with it standing on the ailerons, tack at the center, line my piece of covering down the leading edge to the wing tip. Pull taunt and tack. Then I run my iron up and down the upper most part of the leading edge, nailing the covering down as I go.

Then I turn the wing (still standing up on the ailerons) where the top side (side we're not covering) is facing me. I take the iron and roll the coving with the iron toward the top uncovered) side of the wing. I am laying down the edge all along the wing.

Then I take the iron and roll the iron over the leading edge toward the bottom (part I'm covering) just enough to get it over the hump. Roll it over, move the iron, roll it over and so on until you get to the end of the wing.

Now I lay the wing down flat, leading edge toward me, reach over and grab the covering at the trailing edge and pull taunt and hold up off the surface slightly. Slowly, slide the iron over the covering from leading edge to trailing edge, ironing it down. Do press down on the iron, let the heat and the weight of the iron do the work. Work from the leading edge to the trailing edge and from the center section of the wing to the wing tip. Use the iron to pull the covering down as you go. Hold up a little from the surface and hold it tight and use the iron to kinda roll it onto the wood.

Don't worry if you get a wrinkle or two. You can eliminate these with the heat gun.

Now, go to this link to watch a expert cover. MinnFlyer is one of the best. He will show you how to do the wing tips, etc.
