Gents,

In covering the empennage I elected to cover the sides first and leave the bottom for last. So, at the lower longeron, and for that matter, the upper longeron, at the rear cockpit, the fabric is wrapped and is visible to anyone just looking in the CP. Its not unsightly as I cut very straight during the process of gluing the fabric. All the hours of looking in and being in CPs I never noticed or paid attention to this before. So, I am wondering how most treat this when it comes to finishing..paint, no paint, etc.
Thanks
D
