I heard that, but you still cover way better than I can. I have my friend Jack cover my planes. But I am still learning the building skills

Well I don't know about that, covering is like paint, it's very subjective to who is looking at it.

Covering just plain sucks!!! Bob, this is going to be the best one yet. Looks super clean as usual.

I hear that, it is one thing to design a scheme for plane on paper. But how it looks on the finished airframe is a different story

Karl, if you've seen Bob's plane, you'd swear that he painted it, instead of just covering it .

I'm not a fan of covering either... Having to double measure and cut all the film is quite a chore, but if done right, I guess it's one of the most rewarding steps. At least, it's the one that's most exposed...

The plane is coming up great, and very fast as well!

How would this plane handle a DA200? I guess it would be a sweet combo!

The DA 200 would also be a great power plant for this airframe, I have already been thinking about different motor box sides for different engine applications.
