Default RE: recovering a wing - ailerons?

Wing is done!
After rtemoving all the old covering I covered the wing with 8 pieces of covering starting with the bottom ailerons. I cut half inch "fingers" in the covering and fit it through the hinge line, wrapping around the back.
I've always used Monokote but went with Coverite 21st century fabric in cub yellow on the top of the wing and cheap towercoat yellow on the bottom.
Both worked well, just used a lower temp than the Monokote.
I like the look of the fabric.. not as glossy as regular film but its expensive..

Thanks

Steve
