First, I must say that the color of this airplane is pink, purple, and black and white checkered.  How did I come up with that color scheme you ask…why my wife of course.  She has been after me to make a pink and purple plane for many years now.  I, of course always came back with something like, “well dear, I’m sorry, but they just don’t make Cubs in pink and purple”. 

So the day came when I was planning on making a Fun-Fly plane, the "What’s-It," and thought the color scheme of pink and purple would be ok.  After finishing covering it, I have to admit that the colors do quite well together, and yes, I like it.

I started with the tail feathers first, and then move on to the fuselage.  This gets me back in the groove of covering.  For me, it is easier to cover a flat surface, kind of like practice.  I then tackled the wing.  I did the ailerons first, of course, they're flat!  I then began with the trailing edge of the wing, on the bottom.  I then did the leading edge of the wing on the bottom.  By doing the bottom first, the top covering overlaps the bottom just a little bit making a good seal.
