Thanx. I'm 67. Used silkspan in high school in '69......now retired . Bought 20 kits on ebay and a ton of brodack parts.... now, gonna try my first monokote. Wish me luck🇺🇸......i remenber a month to build, 5 seconds to crash 😎
Get a simulator that you can connect your radio for control. You can crash all you want for a couple hours and work out your bugs and finger muscle memory. :)
Thank you! Somebody doing it the right way. I have an old book from Faye Stilley on covering RC airplanes you both share the same techniques. Its been many years since but I'm getting back to the hobby. I wanted to see if the techniques changed much but they really haven't. But I've also seen videos on doing it incorrectly in my opinion.
Thanks for posting this series. I have rebuilt two Greatplanes 1/3 scale Cristen Eagle II's and the next step is to cover. All the compound angles and the tail surfaces will have to be covered on the plane. I feel a bit more confident after watching these. I am downloading and saving for later reflection too. I wont be recovering in Circus colors due to the feather details but will go creme and tan for both. So I'll give You My address Larry and You can come over and I'll "Let You" cover them for Me lol ! I'm actually pretty excited to to do it. Not My first recover but one of My most technical. Thanks again.
Great video. Im gonna buy some and try to do my first airplane, im 66 and just bought 2 kits and irons. I know silkspan, but very sticky and smelly. Ringmaster is what i'll try first. 😎

Thanks for this videos, Larry. After I saw these, I tried to cover my old glinder's wings with monokote instead of paper, and it's gone very well.

Will a normal hair dryer work?
how hot was the iron?
what temp do you set your iron too?
Yellow and Blue?
صلوا على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قل سبحان رب العالمين
hola, si no tengo la plancha para monokote, que puedo hacer??
(si no me la puedo comprar)
Puedes usar tu plancha regular de ropa a temperatura media. Solo que va a hacer un poco dificil pues la plancha es grande.
need to buy me a ringmaster....
Why didn't you mention the iron settings? What temoerature do we set it at? Geez, is this an instructional video? Then instruct guy.
