What a great idea!

Offer plain white colorschemes and even people who are not too experienced at covering can finish it off to make their own unique schemes.

Heck you could even sell more covering material too....


But I really dislike the stuff used on the Ultimate 40S.


Not because it looks bad, but because it does not release properly when you have to remove it.

More often than not it leaves part of the covering behind on the wood.

Can you see about using an alternative covering material?

Or fixing the adhesives so this doesn't happen?

Ultracoat and Monocoat come off very easily and apply very easily...

(one comes off far TOO easily and tends to peel off in flight, though I forgot which of the two does this, while the other one is perfect...)

Hi, I've discussed the covering issue with the mfg before and they have no plan to change the covering yet...first, those quality covering are hard to get (most of them have to be imported) and secondly, they cost far more expensive and I was told it would increase the cost of each airplane alot! However, that was the discussion early this year...hopefully we will come up with better covering next year as technology increases in this field...
