Inconsistent color on monokote ruins my plane

[bobzilla]

heck yes Bunky, I'll just fly around on one wing like Bill Hempel did.

 

[Bartman]

if anyone asks say the original wing flew off and you were lucky to be able to complete your sequence without zeroing any maneuvers and get the plane back on the ground.

 

[Bunky.F.Knuckle]

Yeah, one wing was faded from a few years back. New wing has fresh covering.

Conversational piece.

Tower offered new roll of monokote, but they could not guarantee which one the new roll will match if any. I opted for money back.

At least they offered it to you! I have run into this before, so now, I buy 25' rolls. I store the leftovers inside the house in the A/C to prevent it from getting damaged from being exposed to heat cycles. Has worked for me for the past 25 years of building and covering!!

Yes, hindsight, I spend $30.25 for 12' when I could have got 25' for $60. Then again, I don't think I will be buying monokote anytime soon.
I hear that the inexpensive stuff from HobbyKing is quite good. I'll give it a try.

A Tower supervisor contacted me and will be refunding the full amount spend on monokote. I guess they want my continued business. I'm happy!

they're thinking they'll give you the refund so you won't go online and share what happened with everyone!

doh!

 

[bobzilla]

That's what I was thinking!! Maybe they read thread here and felt bad. haha

F em

it's just all about the money. That's all some companies care about. I hate tower. I hate gp. Did I say hate?

I'd tell em to reimburse you for your time covering your model too.
