Hey, Papadave! I am in the same boat as you are! I have covered the wing on my new four * forty twice, and it STILL looks like crap! There are some wrinkles that I just can't get out and so I am going to order some ultra kote and maybe by the time it comes in, I'll be back in the mood to finish the plane. I just hope the ultra kote will adhere to the balsa with the monokote adhesive still on it. Does anybody know out there? Will acetone or alcohol remove the monokote adhesive?
Right now, I think the darned thing just needs a good stompin'!!! (But I keep telling myself that I've outgrown that sort of thing.)
