What I had done in the past using SIG Koverall and Dope. Using one piece of fabric per side, tack it down around the edges of the fin, do the back edge and top of the fin first, then work front, just like you would when covering open framework only do not tack it down at the fillet and the area surrounding it. Use only a small amount of dope to hold the fabric to the front edge of the fin, do not tack the fabric to the piece of wood (aka as you would with monocoat) just the front or edges of the wood. Working past the "fillet" area, tack the fabric down only on the top of the stab or fuselage stringer that runs back through. Then using a flat brush (1/2 inch) with thinner, "shrink" the fabric and "unstick the dope" with the thinner as needed. It sounds harder then it is, what you need to do is let the fabric be the "filler" between the fin and stab. I have also done it useing two pieces of fabric also, one for the fin and one for the fuse and just filled the fabric overlap line during painting. Once you start shrinking and unsticking in the needed places, you can visualize the form coming together. I had some pics of mine I had taken, but I cannot find them at the moment. Take your time and the scale looks are well worth the effort. rick markel
