Keith Newman Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Hi. Doing a Gee Bee Need some pointers of best way to approach the white covering on the vertical stab i think its called? Anyhow. The tall bit before the actual rudder. A few curves in it. Not sure if a heat gun and covering iron will sort it or how to actually do it neatly Hoping for some super advice from some of you great covering wizards. https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/cQBTekiS6oaw https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/nvJafG2T9BTj https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/xIomhnhXxJ8F All going to be white Edited June 19, 2022 by Keith Newman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Gates Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Personally I see 3 or maybe 2 different pieces on each side. Top part of the fin is one piece, rear behind the pilot is another - or may be combined with the fin piece. Below that would be part of the main fuselage covering to me. We all have different ways of doing things like this. Best advice, think about it (which you obviously are) and then take your time. If you get frustrated with it, walk away and come back to it another time. Good luck and please post pictures afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engine Doctor Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I'd work from bottom up covering the fuselage side and possibly the curved part of the cockpit side then the vertical stable. I'd try to do it in two parts per side although three may be needed. Youll have to stuck it and see. Allow 1/4 inch overlaps or 6 mm in new money. Show us how you get on ?
