Covering is nothing to "fear", it's uauslly about having the right tools, preping the plane for it and applying the covering per the manufactures recomendations. There are some RCU videos by MINNFLYER about the basics of covering, it also helps to see what covering goes on easiest, read some theads on monokote and ultracote and other various coverings being manufactured. I'm assuming that for your first build, your going to go with a simple covering scheme and finish. If you have any questions about anything on the build, don't hesitate to ask questions, were mostly here to help you be sucessful at it.
