RE: Is Monokote really garbage??
I remember these same discussion way back when you would use an iron to put your monokote on and hope your mother didn't catch you using it - something about it staining clothes when she did the ironing - yeah - that far back - the irons we use today for applying our covering hadn't been made yet. The only problem I have had with monokote since way back in the dark ages - (before the Wright brothers) - was a 25 foot roll that didn't match the previous 25 foot roll I was using to cover my Edge. (I was sent a new roll at no cost and told to keep the off color roll). When you get to Toledo again this year, ask Faye Stilley or Keith Shaw what they covered their new aircraft with. Bet it is still the same used as last year. I just received two new 25 foot rolls to cover my rebuilt Edge, saphire blue and aluminum to duplicate Kirby Chamblis's Red Bull design - will report back on how this year's monokote works.
