JM,

I've only covered a few planes and have never come close to doing as good as you are doing now. But 5 hrs for just control surfaces explains why! I've never been that patient.

A couple of ARF's I've been piddling with come covered in Oracover. I've read its the same as Ultrakote but don't know that for certain. What I do know is the amonia based blue window cleaner works great for the trim. Just spray it on the area you want to apply the trim, peel the backing off the trim and spray it as well then slide it on and scoot it to where you want it. You can then hold in place with a fingertip while you squeegee the fluid out with the edge of a credit card. Let set for a few hours or overnight. You can then followup with the iron around the edges if you wish.

The trim can be made withtrim sheets, or monokote. Stick decals on the same way.

BTW, are you going to seal your hinge gaps?

I have a kit in the closet and you're giving me the urge to try it again,
