Default RE: Help to patch balsa plane.

The area that needs patching is approx. 2 inches by 3 inches. I don't know what material they used and the fuselage is fiberglass.

I was planning on cutting out the damaged area to the nearest wood support. However i have never repaired these types of planes before so i don't know what material to use. Is there a difference between ultrakote and monokote? Is is self adhering or do i need to glue down? How much does it shrink and do i overlap it?

I am not too concerned about exact colour since the plane is red and white ( pretty commen colours )

THanks again.
