I gave my 1/16" sheet cut balsa one last check for fit before covering

I then trimmed away some of the excess off the ends. Not bad, eh?

This is the very first time I've ever used heat-shrink covering. In this case, at the advice of Meku, I used Solartex which has a very fine weave pattern and it comes in various colors. I chose olive drab. So this will help explain, in part, why I chose to fabricte a "faux fuselage" to practice my covering techniques. Its one thinkg to watch dozens of videos on "How to's" but it's another to actually do it myself.

I decided to laminate the last two 1/16" strips of balsa to give it added strength to account for any covering shrinkage
