Monokote Covering
There are many different companies that make covering for RC Planes. I use monokote on my planes and I have no problems with them. I have used others and I did not like the way it turned out. Monokote covers the plane really well and looks really good with all the different colors monokote has. The covering is really strong and can be stretched over any shape. the colors also blend real well with each other. I like monokote because it is a high temperature and I have a little better luck with higher temperature covering. They also make a lower temperature for foam wings or other foam accessories. Monokote can be found online and in local hobby stores.

servos with stripped gears
Many of us that have been flying for quite some time have probably run into worn out servos if not you are lucky. Most servos have an arrangement of gears to make them work. when these gears break or wear out they slip and do not work or lose their strength. Decent servos get too expensive to replace all the time. A cheap alternative is to buy servo rebuild kits. These inexpensive kits are composed of a set of gears to replace the worn out one in the servos. It is a lot cheaper to buy these kits instead of buying new servos. You also will not have piles of dead servos. These kits can be found anywhere and sometimes brand specific so you might have to look up the kit for you servo type.
