What is the best way to remove monokote...
Fly up as high as you can, say 1000 ft AGL. Then point the nose straight down and full throttle. Move your aileron stick to the left or right to give it a little out of control effect. Fly straight into the ground with your engine wide open. This should remove whatever monokote from the balsa you would like off. If it does not, try it again.
