6. Pull and wrap the covering around the leading edge of the wing for a

suitable overlap between the top and bottom pieces—about a 1/8” [3mm]

overlap is usually desirable for medium-size models, so wrap the bottom

covering up over the leading edge about that much.

FINISH THE WING TIP AND ROOT

Now it’s time to tackle the wing tip. Wing tips are actually pretty easy with the right tools and techniques. You’ll need

to elevate the wing from your workbench and use weights to securely hold it down while you pull on the  lm. This is

where the box and bag of shot comes in handy.

1. Pull on a small area of the covering while you touch the iron to it. The

iron softens and shrinks the covering allowing you to pull the wrinkles out.

Depending on the radius and sharpness of the tip, more heat may be required

to wrap the covering all the way around. Just work with the covering and

stretch it as much as it allows.

If you need to wrap the covering further or

remove remaining wrinkles, move onto your Trim

Seal tool focusing on smaller areas. Pull on the

covering while touching the heel of the iron to

the area causing the wrinkles to disappear. Hold

and pull the covering for a few seconds after

removing the iron so the covering will cool and

stay put. Work all the way around the tip in small

increments wrapping around the top as far as

needed. As you can see, we were able to wrap

the bottom covering way more than halfway

around the top.
