Best explanation I've seen so far and I've been covering RC planes since 1980 ! I started out with a house iron on my first few covering jobs and just had to teach myself how to make it work!

Thanks SO much. So straight-forward. I'm a complete novice and have just learnt LOADS.

Well, the one trick with the masking tape at the beginning was all I needed! Yah!
