As a guy who has covered probably close to 100 models, you're method is one of the hardest. Next time, try getting the edges, then, hit it with a heat gun to shrink it, then go back and tack it down with your iron.

cover the bottom of a wing first then the top ..... fuss bottom sides top what ever you use be it tissue, silk, nylon or film. Next tack the leading edge first then the trailing edge ... heat the film it will shrink out the wrinkles then go over the film with the iron.

Great tips! Many THX :)

just an idea: the iron will most likely glide much smoother, wrapped in a layer of baking parchment

This is brilliant! Ive been looking to do this for ages. I tried to repair a balsa plane with covering but it was a total fail. Im going to be starting a foam plane with plans and think covering of it would be a lot better. :) Thanks for the vid!

Being from the old school Balsawood construction days you need to be sure that when you are covering in Monocote or other film covers that the film shrinks when heated and can cause unwanted distortions in the wings. We used this to our advantage with balsa wings to create washout at the wing tips.

Great video,I always knew about that.I built balsa planes back in the day.That is a good idea.Monokote is the best.I used it my whole life in the hobby.
