How does monokote work??? Is it like shrink wrap? Does it actually stick to the balsa wood?? The reason I am asking is because a plane I have has real cheap and flimsy landing gear (hence i mean wire). So I have decided that in order for me to fly a local grass feild I would upgrade the landing gear to a thin aluminum stock. However I am a little confused as I was told by a local gentleman to just cut back the monokote and adhere the new landing gear to the balsa. I have not done this yet as I am unsure what will happen to the monokote if i were to cut it back. Alright so flood me with some info guys.
