I wrote off my Cap232 this morning. My right elevator came loose- resulting in complete loss of control. Part of me wants to bin the remainder and part wants to rebuild. What is the best way to remove the film covering so I can see whether there is a salvage prospect?
Thanks

With Monocoat you just found a tear or a seam and started ripping it off. Usually the adhesive isn't strong enough to tear the wood, and usually (well, often mostly) stays with the covering. I've been asleep for the last 15 years, so I can't say about other film coverings, however.
Heat stuck it down, heat will take it off. A pair of pliers and a heat gun will do the quickest job with the least damage...
