I dont think I've ever covered a plane with the recommended rolls,lol. I tend to be alittle wasteful and if it calls for 3 I usually end up using about 4 or more if I use multiply colors and use some for trim. You gotta be pretty darn good and un-wasteful(like minn) to get away with covering a plane of multiple colors with only 3 rolls. And especially if this is your first cover job,your gonna want to get an extra roll or two. Figure out what you main color will be and get 2 rolls of that. Dont be afraid to cut your pieces larger then they need to be so you have something to hold onto while pulling and tugging. Covering is VERY difficult to do well,and takes ALOT of skill to produce a good job. Many people will tell you that learning to cover well takes as much skill as flying itself. But the other side is.......its almost as rewarding too.


Some tips would be to watch minns videos here on RCU....dont try to get too fancy on your first cover job.....a heat gun is a must....and use Ultracote,not monokote(ultracote is MUCH easier to work with).
