Default RE: How to fix/patch holes?

Hi again, thanks for replying. Both posts are really helpful, so, thank you (the more I learn about materials and such, the better - I love flying, but I've only been able to do so in flight sims - until now, that is.) My dad said we should wait until we go to the airfield to test the plane, so the other pilots (which are way more experienced than we are) could tell us how to fix it properly, but I usually try to look for ways to fix things myself (although I'm good with computers, not R/C planes...) and, I felt bad about having to take a brand new plane to the airfield with a hole on it's wing.

In any case, I talked to my uncle (he bought two planes like this, and gave us the one we, um... "crashed"...) and he told me to go to the website where he bought them. They have it in stock (although I'm not quite sure of the color, should I buy "Yellow" or "Cub Yellow" instead, to match the color on the wings), and, not as expensive as I thought it would be (about $13.75 for a 6' roll) so I'm hoping to order it next Monday.

One more question though: Is it necessary to monokote the entire wing (don't think so, but doesn't hurt to ask), or should I just iron a patch over the hole?
Thanks again for all the help!
