Mylar sheeting as covering

Remember Negligee? A cub covered with transparent covering. It wasn't
Monokote.
As I recall around that time, there was an approval given where Monokote
could be used as a
substitute for paint. Used over Ceconite as I remember. Could be wrong -
that was probably 30+
years ago, not long after the introduction of Monokote. Dennis

Someone once covered a Decathlon with Monokote, the stuff RC modelers use
for their planes

Wow! That would be really expensive! Not to mention the narrow rolls,
unless he made a deal to buy wider, longer rolls.

I also wonder if it was a problem with it stretching when it is out in the
hot sun for a long time, like models sometimes have happen.

It is tough stuff, and easy to apply, and no finishing. It still wouldn't
be worth it, to me.
