If part of your plane is open rather than molded, and you want to use Monokote
for convenience and lightness, but want to match color with your epoxy paint
job, that is possible too. Apply and shrink the Monokote per normal, then mask
with ordinary masking tape and very lightly sand the Monokote t
the same hot box set up you do.

Calculate the area in square inches in your wing.

Find out how much your plane weighs in oz.
If your plane weighs 65 oz. divide 65 by 6.25
remember900 / 144 = 6.25
65 oz / 6.25 sq. ft = a wing loading of 10.4 oz per square ft
