Default RE: Great Planes Z-526 ZLIN Akrobat Build Thread

Pulled it out last night....

Lots of wrinCles (my letter is not worCing on my Ceyboard// can you guess which one?)

I pulled the covering off the rudder (will need to recut the red stripe)
Funny thing about monoCote.....Once it is down and wrinCled....you can not shrinC it up liCe oracote.......
It will shrin some but the fine wrinles seem to remane....not that noticable but it is when up close...
One thing that can help is too inject H20 under the covering with a syrange and heat it up....
It will pull the covering away and then you can shrinC it down....
Doesn't always worC well though.... it does for fixing dents in balsa....

MonoCote is simmple to apply if you Cnow what your doing....

You have to apply it liCe a sticCer that doesn't shrinC much....
start in the middle and rubb outward from center...

Supperiour finnish...but don't follow directions from the manufacture....
Doesn't worC liCe they say it will....

Shame that the manufacture, doesn't even Cnow how to apply there own covering....

Funny...
