Monokote basic maintenance!!

[@ROLXXII]

I discovered your channel the other day and I've been really enjoying the mixture of content you've posted. Great channel, great for lovers of the RC hobby and varying skill and experience levels.

Thanks! Glad you enjoy!

thank you for keeping the old school way in the hobby alive

For an overlapping seam of monokote, I sometimes see a little of the adhesive smear out during the ironing. It's more noticeable on dark covering, but I'm having trouble removing those smears of adhesive from the top of the monokote. Acetone seems to just make the smears even larger .... spreading them a bit. Any tips for removing them?

[@AdamArndt]

Dude your making me feel old..LOL, I HAVE THOSE BOOKS. And tools.. the first plane I built was a Gentle Lady also. Never covered it though. It eventually met a boys end. The first plane I ever covered was a SIG Riser 100"

[@JustSomeGuy38790]

So with a gas or electric airplane could you just rub a little bit of oil on the fabric to keep it nice?

[@n1114v]

It may sound crazy but yes! Soak a rag with some castor oil and wipe the covering down, then clean with windex

@@n1114v Ok Thanks!

@@n1114v So you just use windex to clean up the glow residue after flying?

I want to know who's the one dude who dislikes all your videos??!?! Thanks for this video. I started flying with a Hangar 9 Easy Fly 40 ARF. Then I build a Four Star 40.

Some people are haters!

[@flyboywbl]

Andrew Gideon yes, haters gonna hate. Did you ever upload the Monokote video? I could not fins it in your videos.

[@n1114v]

@@flyboywbl yes, it's there.

[@flyboywbl]

Andrew Gideon cool. Got it. Thank you! Wish I would of watched that with my first covering attempt at 15, lol

[@stevejones9044]

Foamies are for packing purposes! ... and I own some of them! Sometimes I want to get something up and running fast but they are nothing like flying sticks.

[@karsonjoshua828]

i guess Im kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to stream new movies online?

[@cooperjacob4548]

@Karson Joshua try Flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@ahmedmatias4086]

@Cooper Jacob yea, been watching on Flixzone for since april myself :D

[@karsonjoshua828]

@Cooper Jacob thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it!!

[@cooperjacob4548]

@Karson Joshua No problem xD

[@Craigs-corner]

Great video. This is a bit off topic, but is that a Kalt 30 Baron Helicopter above you at the beginning of the video?

[@n1114v]

Good eye..... yes it is!

[@Craigs-corner]

I thought so. I built one for a friend (belt driver version)...cool helicopter. The Kalt demise was a sad thing. I (still) have a Raptor .30 V2, and a TSK Five Star 30V.

[@n1114v]

@@Craigs-corner It was a good flying bird for sure, the last heli i flew was a raptor 90 with all the bells and whistles. Got out of helis about 12 years ago.
