Talk about coverings, the original Monokote on my CG Extra 300 is now 28 yrs old and still going strong. The fuselage is stored on a wall rack in my workshop while wing is in a bag in the main house. Our annual temps hover between 55-90 deg F range so that might have helped a bit with its longevity.

Miss these days..... haha, I paid $100 for my kit, but will be worth it to re-live. Thinking an OS .35AX this round

The Red Uproar had accumulated several packing tape patches over the last couple of years. While I had no worries about the tape patches. They work just fine. They surely don't look very well. Even though I did not do a good job of documenting with photo's, here is a few low quality pics. There was also one on the back of the fuse.



In this picture you can see the four holes in the wing after removing the tape. heck the hole in the left wing near the tip and aileron I poked into the stupid thing getting ready to fix the other holes. I had already patched the fuse..


A close up ....


Three of the holes patched. You can see the "stitches" that I put across the hole using strips of covering upside down attached to the inside using Top Flight Trim Solvent. I did a detail post on this earlier in this thread on this same plane. Of course, for now, all those pictures are gone.


patches complete

needless to say, the old plane shows it's battle scars but at least it has a little more class versus the ugliness of packing tape patches....

All the old pictures are back...
