I have the Thunder Tiger Pegasus 40 and accidentally punctured the wing covering. There is a slit approx 2 inches long on the bottom of the wing. This is an ARF the is covered with that sticky contact paper type of material. Whats the best way to fix this? Can I patch with Monocoat or some other covering? Will monocoat adherer to the existing covering?

Thanks in advance

Jeff

JEFF:
I owned a hobbico awarf extra 300s, it also had that sticky back covering, if you clean the area real good & make sure there are no oils in the area, monokote will do the trick, the problem i had was the sticky back covering had faded so i couldn"t match the color very good, also mine had a layer of clear plastic over the covering that i had to peel off to achieve good adherence, be carefull not to let the iron touch the sticky back covering as it will melt it. good luck

Hey Jeff: Welcome to the pegasus, I've got one also. I also punched a hole with my thumb just picking it up. I used a monokote strip in Dayglow orange, the strip at the LHS, 4"x24", $3.95, but cut a 2" strip and put diagonally from leading edge to trailing edge, then added another strip about 3" inboard. This stuff has a peal backing, spray the area with windex, use a straight edge to clear the bubbles, then dry with a cloth or paper towel very gently so it does not move, don't use heat, (iron or gun), it will melt. The white does not match the Pegaus white, but I used it on the vertical stablizer, when the rudder hinges pulled out, I have just pined all hinges, with tooth picks. Had to remove the covering to reinforce the trailing edge of the vertical fin, no glue from the factory on the top former. Up close can tell, and if light is just right, but from a distance of 3 ft. no can see it.

The best covering repair solution. You will never seen it and it should be a stndard iteam in your flightbox. Great for field repairs too.
