Don't be afraid of the fabric work. Poly fiber has a very good manual, and it will go very well for you if you follow what you read in it if you choose that system. If you built the RV, you should be plenty capable of doing the Kitfox. Painting with the poly fiber system is easy and fun as well. If you were close by, I would let you cover the tail feathers for my next Kitfox 4 project. Worst case, it's not much fabric, and easy to tear off. :-) JImChuk
