i had two tower hobbies kaos's.wonderful flyer's,... the first one years ago was covered in monokote. the 2nd one had the worst covering job on any arf i have owned and was coverd in towerkote. the covering literaly fell off the fuselage even after re- sealing during assembly. i would not recommend the one they sell now unless "old rookie" want's to take the time to strip off the covering and recover. just my my 2 cents
