Hey all, glad to be here. Found Willy Nillies on RCGroups and I knew I had to try one. Awesome price and quality.
I've been building and flying foamies for about 10 years now, but this will be my first balsa plane. Any of you veterans have any good tutorials for covering that you've found helped you out the most? Looks a little intimidating for a first-timer.
Thanks,
Aaron

Welcome!
Ya, covering can be quite intimidating. There some good tutorials on youtube. Just give it the old search.
Some tips I have picked up: start with a flat, simple shape. Like the vertical or horizontal stabilizer. With that, start with low heat and work your way up till it sticks. Take it slow and take your time. Once you are comfortable with it on a simple piece, move on to the fuse and wings.
