Hello All,
I am looking into scratch building a SC over the long cold winter here. I spoke with the local RC store and he was no help. Mainly because he sells RC cars and VERY FEW planes. I want to cover this plane. I am trying to avoid the packing tape look. I have seen the you tube videos about Econokote so I know that works but I don't know about Ultrakote. I have seen the application process for it. But it needs more heat to be applied and streched. I am wondering if it would warp the wings because of all the heating and stretching. Which should I use. Econokote is available on line as is Ultrakote. But there is MUCH more color choices using Ultrakote.
So which one would work better? Please remember, I have never covered a plane before. And the local hobby shop has closed its doors. Obivously the local RC shop will be no help at all. So I am left to my own devises.
Thanks
Alaskan
