Looks like I completely forgot to upload them after taking them.
Here you can see the progress in covering some of the control surfaces. I found the best way is to use an ordinary glue stick and litespan. The glue stick provides just enough "stick" for the litespan to be placed on the surface and then moved around without ruining it. Once the heat is applied the moisture content is evaporated from the adhesive and is cured when cooled. At the same time the mixture of materials in the litespan begin to shrink. With a bit of practice you can do this over the entire surface without it warping the balsa structure.
I have to say I'm rather pleased with the results being that this is my first attempt with this method. There are very few wrinkles, only in the tight compound corners, and everything is drum tight.
