We are in the process of covering the right side of the fuselage. We applied U500 glue to all the perimeter tubing and also around the rear window openings and baggage door opening. Next we laid out a large sheet of fabric while the fuselage was rotated passenger side up, and cut it to approximate shape. We tacked the fabric down to the perimeter tubing with a little glue to hold it in place, and then we measured and trimmed the fabric to fit. We glued the edges down while wrapping the fabric around the tubing, except for the region where the fabric overlapped the lower fuselage fabric, in which case we ensured we had at least 1" of overlap. We still have to do some ironing, but so far, so good. Hours: 9.5
