A few years ago Top Flite changed their formula for Monokote. The adhesive does not stick as well and when heated, the material melts and strings out when you try to cut it !
Oracote, shrinks better and the adhesive is much better....FYI.

It is Monokote. I contacted Aerobeez right after I got my first plane and told them that it had wrinkles and that I tried ironing them out. That the Covering pulled away from the rest of
the covering, exposing balsa wood. All the could say way sorry ! I asked what was the covering ? Monokote they said.

Motorman did you mount your throttle servo bracket to the side wall of the engine box or did you mount it to the floor of the engine box would it be possible for you to post a few pictures of your throttle servo set up.

Its called using your voice recognition on your cell phone and not taking the time to proofread it or spell check it because you're at work and you just want to get the message out fast so who's the stupid one now.

You're still the stupid one no matter what your lame excuse is. Still makes you look ignorant to the casual observer. Blame it on something else other than your laziness. Typical in todays society.

I didn't know the grammar police are proof reading posts now. Thanks for enlightening those interested in aerobeez aircraft with your superior grasp of the english language. I think it makes you look like a couple things that don't need to be mentioned here. Motoman I like the video diary. The plane looks great. I am looking forward to seeing the first flight.

Checked out your maiden. Good job. Looks like it flies well just like the aerobeez msxr. It took me a couple landings to get the landing speed correct. I am impressed with their planes.

Looks good moto, makes me want to get going on mine. I only have tuesday and wednesday nights to do anything on it but the last four to five weeks I've worked long hours on those two days so I haven't got much done. I started a thread on the Giant Scale 3D aerobatic forum. My DLE had a side mount carb but after I posted a few pics on the thread on how I was going to mount the throttle servo another member gave me the idea to change it to a rear mount which is what I did for under 20 bucks. Maybe I will be able to get at it more in the next couple of weeks. This will be my first gasser to.
