Default Covering holes

My Speed Astir has a couple 1 1/2 ish holes in the fuse. One for the
ballast dump, and another required to work on the undercarriage. I've
always hated using 3 strips of tape to cover them. Today I went to a
hobby shop and bought some trim MonoKote (TM). It's 4 mil thick mylar
with an adhesive back. It comes in lots of colors, including white.
I cut a bunch of circles to apply this weekend. The adhesive may be
difficult to get loose at the end of the season, so I'll let y'all
know then if it's a real pain.
