'Hi Jim, I have only covered the rudder,ailerons, and elevators so
far. If you haven't bought the Stits covering video yet I think it is
the best help. Also I think the guy that is probably the most
knowledgeable about Poly Fiber is Norm Douthit-I think he was with Ray
Stits form the begiining. I call him when I have a problem of questions
and he always is very helpful. He also sells the Poly Fiber products.His
phone no. is 1-888-811-2232. I don't want to try to sound like an old
expert because I'm not----well mabey the old part is true but if you
haven't used Poly Fiber before you might cover something small first
like an aileron.I's really not hard to do but something small might be
good practice before the big ole fuselage.Good luck and if you can
please send me a picture when you have the fuselage looking good.
See Ya,
Buell
