EGB 953 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Later today I will start covering the wing on my build, using Oracover. I plan a two tone scheme with the base being creamy white and the wing tips and LE in sky blue. Having not done very much wing covering in years, any top tips on critical do’s and don’ts? My thinking is do the bottom side first but don’t shrink till the top side is covered. Any other advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lee Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Watch the Solarfilm Video! Made many years ago by Derek Hardman the manufacturer of Solarfilm and released as a VHS tape, it is just as relevant today with Oracover. Some kind soul has uploaded it to YouTube for the benefit of later generations. It will give you a really good foundation knowledge. Part 1 shows how to apply Solarfilm and how to cover a wing tip with one piece. Part 2 shows how to do a special effects including chequered effects, roundels etc. Part 1 finishes at approx 33 mins and Part 2 starts just after 40 mins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
