COVERING HELP
 

I will be at the steps of covering my LT-40 soon and I was wondering if anyone who has built this plane would have any detailed pics they have taken showing how to cover this plane so that I may study it now so that I will be ready for when the time comes.

The more detailed the pic the more helpful. I know that Ken is doing a build thread and I am studying that wholeheartedly every step of his build, but I want something right now on covering that I can start studying at this time before my build is even done. I need all the detailed pics that I can get so everything you post will be helpful, so please share them here. I will copy them all to my computer so I can study them daily.

Thank you in advance.

P.S: I am doing a 3-tone color scheme on my plane (i.e: blue front of fuselage, white sides on fuselage, red top of the fuselage and blue on the bottom [see attached photo]) so it would be helpful to see covering pics on how the three colors can be blended without the seams running into each other.

Ok, I have one suggestion regarding your color scheme: You should bring the red on the LE around (IF even only slightly) to the bottom side, so that the seam is facing away from the air stream.

always cover bottoms first... this way most cover imperfections will be on the bottom

Great color scheme. It will be easy to tell what the attitude of the airplane is in the air.

Wow, good point Minn, I'm gonna remember that, thanks.
