This step in Project Extra will cover sheeting and finishing foam parts. As I stated in the introduction to the project, this construction series is intended to span model-building in general, but still apply to Project Extra 300LX.

This article will give some insight on sheeting foam and an overview of today's most common sheeting methods. As you will see in this article, there are many ways to accomplish the sheeting portion of any aircraft and you can successfully sheet the foam for your Extra with any of these methods.

The Project Extra has a lot of foam parts. The wings, stabs, rudder, a large hatch, and the turtle deck are all foam. We experimented with various methods of attaching the wood to the foam and also gluing the individual sheets together and came up with several acceptable ways to do both.
