Default New Monokote Technique

I lurk on this site quite a bit but not much of a poster. I made this video a few days ago about a monokote technique I stumbled upon.
I hope that you guys can use it to make some bad ass covering schemes.

Great video! I'm definitely going to try that next time on a new plane.

I guess the only problem would be finding a piece of glass, but no biggy!

Thanks!

No phone line, satellite card with poor service at home. We live 3/10 mile off the road and cable just came through here last month. I am looking into Huges.net now.
