Yup its those 'things' on the leading edges. They were intended to be removable and attached with tape or perhaps double face tape. Hope no one glues them.

The best way to learn doing film coverings is to watch someone doing it. There are some good vidios for this somewhere. Perhaps someone will post a link. I frequently have someone from the field follow me home to watch that as well a some other building techniques. Network you locals starting with the Pacini's and you will surely get good help.

I am about two hours from you but I don,t travel well anymore but fly virtually every day. So if you want ever come this way I will be pleased to help with the flying and getting you back in the air.
