[NSRCA-discussion] Cleaners

Mine is a work of ART! However, it looks more like a finger painting.

 Well my pickup (plane) always works not as pretty as it could be but very
reliable. If there are many of us that think this way we as pattern flyers
could loose our ANAL status, LOL

I don't believe in pampering my airplanes, so I don't wax them.  If you
start pampering an airplane, first thing you know, it'll want a new glow
plug every flying session, a new prop or a new type of fuel with higher
nitro content.   

 

I think of my airplanes as pickup trucks.  I expect them to be ready to go,
no matter how badly I treat them.  An airplane should be grateful when you
charge the batteries every week or so or use an old cleaning rag to wipe
areas you touch to pick them up so you don't get oil on your hands.

Speaking of wax, has anyone tried reshrinking Monokote after it has been
waxed? Did you have trouble doing it?

I've gotten good results with a mix of 40% rubbing alcohol, 60% tap water,
applied via spray bottle. What really helps, is a coat of automotive
"spray and wipe" wax, once or twice a year. Makes the painted and covered
surfaces much easier to clean.
