I am by no means a covering pro. But one thing I want to emphasize.... new sharp blades. Minn sings the praises of them in his video. I just want to echo it.
Yup. In fact, I'm covering a plane now. All that's done is the tail (Most of it anyway) and the wing fillets, and I've already gone through 3 blades.
MinnFlyer, do you prefer to cover the fuse with the stabilizer and fin attached, or by themselves and then glue them on when finished? Just curious as to which is easier. Also, I've seen planes that have a support at the fin/stab interface that looks like triangle stock but is dished (concave) on the side that is showing, are these store bought pieces or hand sanded? Thanks, StikDude
