ed, i know you're right about the hanger rash thing, but that type of finish fascinates me. i recently acquired an ultrasport 60 with a monocote finish that has seen better days. i don't like it but it serves a purpose. i can place it/throw in the back seat, head to the field and not worry about dents and dings. i can buy rtf planes all day long like that. however, my personal builds i want a paint finish. i will probably make a crate for transporting a painted airplane.
