How do I clean model fuel from balsa wood on my RC aircraft?

by admin on January 26, 2010

I am rcovering my model with Monokote and when I stripped off the old covering I noticed that nesr the nose of the plane some fuel has penetrated into the wood. I would like to know how to clean it or use soething to draw it out of the wood.

Thanks,

As far as I know there is no way to remove the nitro from the balsa ,,

what you may have to do is cut the piece out and replace it with new if it is an area that will be getting mono cote ,

what I would do is saturate the area with super thin CA and see if you can make the area solid for application of the mono cote.

Could you build an Ultralight with a RC model engine?
