I'm new to covering so I have a question. I have watched a few videos and some guys will use the stretch and pull method (like used when covering a wingtip) when covering the curves on the flatter tail feathers. Some guys will cut relief cuts around the curves on the tail feathers then iron down. I have used the relief cut method for my tail feathers and it is really easy and worked pretty good. But, if you look close, you can see my relief cuts. If your more than a foot away you cant see them though. If I were building a really scale, perfect work of art, judged model, the cuts may not be acceptable.
My question is, what is the best method for applying the covering on these control surfaces that are curved and not very thick like tail feathers?
See the relief cuts, but came out with no wrinkles and smooth.
