My first attempt at monokote was probably around 1971. Chrome monokote ('cause it looked so cool to a 12 year old kid) using my mom's household iron, trying to cover a Goldberg Lil Jumpin Bean. The iron was as big as the plane. Disastrous results! I learned a few things from that. Don't EVER use chrome monokote, it shows every flaw. Don't use a household iron. And (big drum roll) remember to peel off the clear backing, it severly inhibits the adhesion of the monokote to the underlying structure.![]() Ok, guys, quit laughing. How many times have YOU forgotten to remove the backing???

Yeah, Dave. I'll be sure to maintain a safe operational gap with you (and mostly everyone else).

From the way you and Larry fly those T-28's, safe is who can avoid a mid-air crash | ||||||||||||||||||

That's great, Mark! And I just spoke with Chris Hockaday who claims he's going to join us, too. We're all going to hold you to that, Chris! We haven't seen any Hockaday's in quite a while.
