40 years ago I built a Sig Kadet Jr all covered with Monokote, the Jr was a small airplane with an Enya .15 in it, also built several Baby Birdy’s back then with Cox 051s that were tiny airplanes all covered with Monokote. Anyway take size out of it, the statement was made that tissue covering was stronger than Monokote, it is not, in any shape, form or fashion, that’s all I’m saying.
