Thank you Minnflyer.

Now that the fuselage is almost covered, I do have some additions I'd like to suggest to that How-To thingy.

First. You should type the "...thou shall not use clothes iron..."-part with CAPITAL LETTERS to ensure people, that its kinda clumsy and extremely dangerous tool.

Howcome dangerous? I have several burns here, one even in my nose (yes, i know that there's absolutely no need to iron my nose while covering a plane, but...). My respect to HER had a tremendeous growth due saddling the beastly iron...

Second. Temperatures using Solarfilm aren't in the of Iron manufacturers material lists. Those bast...

..err..

..sorry...

...extremely nice gentlemen do also have a habbit to mark temperatures using balls in thermostat instead of numbers. So i noticed that the LOW temperature for Solarfilm was app 8mm (1/4 inches) under that 1st ball and HI was just a little over it. And, as the Rowenta manual kindly educated me, that temperature is to iron synthetic fibers + stuff.

I wonder also, what kinda dark Freudian secret hides in that using of balls to get that iron hot. One ball, not so hot, two balls makes it hot enough but three balls... No wonder they divorce so much these days...

Hm. I got lost..

Some more addeneums suggested.

Horizontal and vertical stabs should not be glued to fuselage before covering. Or i guess it could be easier that way. (problem yet to come is to fit elevator to the rest of the plane, cause tail...nevermind)

Get a brother. If you don't have one, you should make your parents to make one.

???

Brothers are useful things, when you have to lend a heat gun. Mine made it possible to make my 1st covering job wrinkle-free by leaving his tools unprotected. I hope he forgets he once owned a heat gun...

Btw. Do not grab the heat gun from that hot metal thing in its nose, not even then, when you're up to drop the fuselage youre tightening. It drops anyway as soon as you notice that 150° C is not something you want to hold for long.

I started from tail and as i already attached "feathers" in it, i had several situations, where i had to fit that pesky iron in 20 times smaller place that the iron is. Laws of physics never stop to suprise me. All done so far..

If we ignore those those minor difficulties I mentioned earlier, i foud that short "manual" very useful and, belive it or not, i did not make a single wrinkle in the covering.

Well.. The tail part has covering made of several (make that zillion) small pieces, so there is some seams in it.

But yes. I made it (or almost, the nose is waiting 'til i finish this lithany), thanks to your help.

BTW: The reason I've chosen this forum instead of that electric flight one, is because this small glider (yes, it has a speed 400 motor and I'm very sorry about that:-) is goin to be a giant scale FW190 some day. And before that its goin to be a biplane (or 3, have you seen those WW1 models in balsa-usa?) and this and that.... I hope that SHE forgives me, but the house will be full of kits in the future. Anyways i didn't start from Pico J3 Cub...
