I would never cover this plane in silkspan. it's to easy to tear during the handling and other things that go on with a model. There are a lot of coverings out that are much better. It would work, but you have to be careful and take good care of it. I just like silk a lot better and it's much stronger. Coverite is great stuff, but a little on the heavy side. I have covered 60 size planes with it before and really like it. Using something like stits, you can paint a couple of coats of Balsarite on it first and then put the covering on with an iron. It's a heat activated glue like MonoKote and the other have on the back side of their covering. You can also use glue like some other do. It works great. There are probably 100 different ways to cover that plane.

Thanks for the reply mred33, I guess I have been reading just to much about fabic covering and just not sure too take that first Big step.
So I guess it will be koverall and Balsarite, I'll never really know until I try.
