    Just an FYI, I'm expecting to get a package this week with laser cut Monokote to cover the wing, as well as graphics decorations for the Temptations I'm building.  There's also a set of matching laser cut mylar templates for the tail, which will be masked and painted.  I'm really looking forward to this, as it really seems to hold a good promise of being able to do some very elaborate designs with ease.  Once I decided on what I wanted, it only took a night of work on TurboCad to make the patterns.  Then it was just a matter of sending the .dxf files off to get the cutting done.  This was the first time that Northeast Aerodynamics did Monokote for a customer and John Marien was very willing to experiment a bit on his own time before I committed to going this way.  BTW, there are size limits to what can be cut, roughly 30" square as I recall.  This should be really cost effective, since John is able to cut out extra things like your name, NSRCA number, AMA number etc to avoid wasting material while cutting the main pieces for the covering job.
