Yard Bee now Covered

Got the Yard bee fully sanded and got the covering done. There are plenty of covering tutorials out there so I won't go into the whole covering process in detail.

For covering the Yard Bee i used Red, Yellow and While So-lite covering. I started with the wing then did the tail feathers then the fuse. The hardest part was doing the fuse which had to be done in multiple sections because of the wing pylon.

After covering everything I added some yellow trim to break up the red. I used the windex trick to apply the trim with minimum bubbles. It took a little bit tweaking to get it to work right but the results were decent. I also removed the covering from areas that were going to be glued to get a good glue joint.

Next up will be gluing on the tail feathers then getting the control rods and servos setup. Then I will get all the electronics setup and the landing gear. Getting close to the finish now, I am just hoping the snow melts so I can maiden it.
