Probably my favorite part of a build is covering.

Well the front part of the rudder is in just have match the rudder part to the feast, do the hinges and then this part will be done.

Have a question about plastic covering. I have always used Ultra coat. My question is how do you tell the difference between the two.

Ultracote has a paper backing and monocote has plastic. That being said any of the chinacote brands all have plastic backing. Ultra also goes down at a lower temp.

Just an update the rudder is done and fits the fuselage and the holes drilled for the control rods for the elevator and rudder. Just have make some supports for the rods and do the hinging for the rudder. Then close of the top.

Plugging away with the profile. Took a break from covering to install some components. Very happy with how this is coming together.

Looks great brother. I assume you drew it up and had someone laser cut the kit?

I really like the recessed pockets for the components. That’s a nice clean look.
