<div><SPAN contentEditable=false style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN>When the monokote job is new, meaning put down well with an iron, one way to keep it that way is to spray it with a coat of polyu clear. The 2 part variety like Concept,Omni or Imron work well over monokote that has been cleaned well with organic solvent. Let it cure for a few days. You may scuff the monokote slightly with 2000 paper used wet but isn't necessary. </div>

<div>Clear coating will keep most sags, bubbles and loose areas and such at bay. 2 light coats are better than 1 heavy coat as with all painting.</div>

<div><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello All,</FONT></div>
<div><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </div>
<div><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have the Swallow 90 and have flown it for a year. I have an OS .91FX in it and it is more than enough power. My only comment about the plane is the covering material. I have had trouble with the covering lifing up. I have tried using thin CA around the covering edges - didn't help. I have tried adding balsarite adhesive under the covering - doesn't work. Maybe others have better luck or better process than I have.</FONT></div>

<div><FONT face=Arial size=2>As far as the planes capabilities, Sportsman is as far as I would want to take this plane to be competitive.</FONT></div>
