I had talked myself into thinking that covering the rudder would be almost too difficult- then I got tired of waiting and did it a couple of weekends ago and while it may not be perfect, I think it looks great. Covering the elevator should be easy and the horizontal stabilizer as well, once you reference where the control cables go through!

Jim,

Always interested to see pictures of your machine.
That Fokker logo on your rudder is excellent. Did you use a stencil or by hand?
I'm using Ceconite 102 to cover.
I have covered my rudder and tailplane but forgot to reference where the cables go through the tailplane! Doh!
