What kind of "R/C plane dope?" Are you talking about soaking it in Hot
Stuff or something? Is there anything else that works well? If you're
talking about that stuff, I can see two problems: one, that stuff is
expensive, you might come out ahead buying a chunk of aluminum at the scrap
yard and marking it out and paying a machine shop to cut the holes in it,
and second, the octane enhancing additives that are added to gas should
dissolve that eventually...
hum, I built an RC plane when I was a kid, and I remember covering the
firewall and engine mounts with something that made it hard as hell and
impenetrable to the methanol/nitro methane/oil combination that that thing
burned...

tools)
