There are numerous threads about covering so I won't post the process. Suffice it to say I sanded with 240 then 400 grit sandpaper. If you are interested in seeing a couple of the tutorials by Mike Buzzeo (Minnflyer), go here

For the wings, make sure you cover the wingtips before anything else. It makes the covering look a lot better with less wrinkles.

I used scissors to taper the ends of the hinges to help them slide in.

the masking tape is used to mark the location of the hinges on the wing and the ailerons to keep them on target.
