Scale The Naked Truth of Covering a Plane

HEY!..GET OUTTA MY TREE!
When I recovered my 3DHS Exra I didn't get the leading edge of the green hot enough (Ultracote). It was lapped over the white because doing it the other (correct) way let the green show through the white. Anyway, on maiden it blew off, scared the crap outta me, but I got it back down. Fortunately the graphics weren't applied yet!

Redid the covering, ironed it all down REALLY well and sealed the seams with clear nail polish. Never had another problem with the covering in 4 years.....not counting wadding it up in a cornfield. :confused:
