Monocote Question !!!!!!!!!
 
Hi,

Hope someone can give me some insight to this, i have a GP SuperSportster 40 but every time i fly the covering seems to wrikle bad, and needs ironing flat everytime i come home.

Is it me being fussy or is this stuff not much use ?
Can anyone recommend another way to cure this prob ?
Also is a heat gun better than an iron for this covering ?

Thx in advance for your time..............

Hey DragonHeart,
Firstly you wanna check the edges and make sure its all locked down and air tight, then you can take a heat gun and just go over all the monokote. Remember with monokote you need alot of heat so dont be too hsaty with the gun keep it there for a bit (of course not too long to burn a hole through). Eventually the monokote will start to were out but it shouldnt be after every flight.
Hope this helps,

Papa

Where is it wrinkling, all over or just the wings? If it's just the wings I'd be concerned that there's a structural problem causing the covering to wrinkle. If it's the fuselage as well, then buy a heat gun and shrink it really well.
