Minn, that is one of the coolest programs for drawing things out like that!!
Here's an example of what it can do when I have a little time

I wouldn't cover the cntrl surface with the wing at the sametime, not on a new model
Sometimes you have to... when re-covering a model It's a pain.
if the film sticks..it wouldn't be a problem..but ya working with film that shrinks.lol

yeah back to front on the entire model.
bottom first then top. makesure the top sheet wraps around the leding edge

I actaully had the film on the top of one side of a wing came off during flight.
It was a drag.lol

For now I will probably just cover everything and then install the hinges. But, that may change, depending on how detailed I want to get on my first kit. We'll see.
MinnFlyer,
That four stroke is great! Showed my son so he can understand how they work. That's not an example of "having too much time on your hands", is it?[X(] LOL

Food... it's important - up there on the priority list for me as well. You have your priorities straight.
