Default RE: cleaning monokote patch or not?


ORIGINAL: trainer25

Picked up a couple planes that are pretty dirty with a few tears and small holes int he monokote. Whats the best way to clean the monokote? should i patch or re-monokote?
Windex (or Simple Green) and paper towels do a wonderful job of cleaning planes.

As for patching or recovering - Will the patches be numerous AND obvious ? Is their a lot of graphics involved where the patches need to go ? Are these going to be "every day fliers" or "beater planes" (you really won't care if they take a "dirt nap" ) ? Are you unhappy with the present covering scheme ?

The bottom line (as it always is) is: It is up to you.
