I'm just about ready to cover my Smith Miniplane. At this point I always ask myself: should I go ahead and permanently attach the tail feathers and ailerons and install the radio gear or should I cover before attaching and installing? If it makes any difference I had planned to use Koverall and Stix it. Any opinions out there on your preferred sequence and reasons behind it?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
I wished to share my experience with you but lost my reply text upon clicking the OK button to post. Got a message about the server rebooting.
I wonder if this will go.

Hoping the following will go with the above.
You may have a look at my Skybolt pictures in th thread "Skybolt hangar".
The fuselage and tails are covered with nylon fabric.
The wings with polyester.
The fabric is 0.005" thick at 80 threads per inch giving a transparency of 60%.
I covered the tail surfaces separately but the tail surfaces are bolted; they are not cemented.
I figure it is easier to do repair separately for the tail surfaces and if repair is needed on the rear fuselage it is easier if the tail sufaces are not there.
