Paul, your explanation got me to thinking(a very rare event). I planned to cover the whole hinged area first. For example, the horizontal stabilizer and the elevator, to make the hinged areas smooth without having to poke the Koverall down into the gaps after attaching the hinges. Then I would do the hinges on the outside surface, just like one does with bare balsa and cloth hinges. I don't think the hinge tabs would be too ugly this way. Problem is, will the tabs start to peel up after awhile? My thought to solve this problem, if it might really be a problem, would be to use a strip of Koverall over the tab line to hold them down. Or, maybe just a drop of thin CA on top of each tab would work, but would the CA pull its usual trick and run down into the hinge? Don't want that!
Any ideas would be appreciated.
