F1D Build Project: Wing 3: Covering

This video is part of a series on building a complete F1D Plane. See the entire series on the playlist F1D Build Project, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe1IYdMr0FSzOGTYBnClUX2WVj-3YszDL In this video, we cover the wing with Mylar "OS Film". This video includes final prep of the framed wing, Covering preparation, application, and trimming of the covering. I should note that these are methods that have worked for me and my students. There are many ways of doing these tasks.
