The cracked horizontal stab had nothing to do with cutting away the monocoat.. If you run your fingers across the stab you can feel the center section is quite solid and seems to be strong enough.. It is at the end of the "solid" portion, that mine cracked... No Monocoat cuts out there... I sheeted mine to fix it since I had to teke the covering off to repair it anyway... I checked the differance between the 40 size and 60 size kits. One of the big differances was the sheeted stab on the 60 size kit. Flying wires etc should work just as
well if you catch it before it cracks... My next one will have the wires... Just my experiance with this great plane :-]
