Default Recovering a Magic

Well my magic has just about had it. So today I took all the equipment out and engine out and rip most of the covering off of the body. Any tips of getting the rest off??? We did order a new magic though to be my main magic. But I wanted to recover this one my self because I want to learn how to cover a airplane and also I want a second magic to probably put floats on since I have a lake behind my house.

There is no "majic bullet" to remove old covering, sometimes a heatgun will soften it and it will pull off hot, but usually it is one little piece at a time on sheeted surfaces.

I have been just sanding the little pieces off and it seems to work fine. ARFs are a pain in the butt to recover sometimes because of how the covering is stick to it. I should have it ready to cover Wednesday.
