Default Wing covering

I have just started coverig my first wing [crash rebuild] and am using 3 colors in stripes front to back and overlapping at wing formers. [see photos], Got to thinking that I don't remember ever seeing any wings coverd this way and started asking my self, if maybe there was a reason. Would appreciate any opinions.

Sorry for the size of the photos, don't know how to load link.

Could you post a LARGER picture so we could see what you're talking about?

I just left-clicked on your Large Picture and it made it smaller....easier to see.

The method you are using for the striping is standard procedure. I usually overlap a little more, but you should be fine.

Good work!

I fixed the pics for you. It wan't anything you did wrong. One of the RCU servers has that little bug in it. If you happen to be connected through that particular server the pics come out huge.

Thanks for the replys.

By the way, the hot sock is a propritory design, I'll let you use it but you have to pay me royalties.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. I use a thin cotton cloth and set it over the part I'm going to work with.
