I would not say they are trying to deceive they probably assumed a plane like this at this price would be Oracover. It certainly deserves a better covering. My only hope is that the Mfg will listen to the user complaints and fix them. To my knowledge this is the only 33% S1 ARF available.My next Pitts will be built from plans, seems to be the only way to get a really nice one. Talk to Dan Spears at RC Guys I'm sure he will tell you it's chinacote. I talked to him about a month ago about the covering and it was chinacote then.
