Default covering

From diamonddustrc.com "Covering = We only use Ultra Coat or Ora cover. It adds to the overall strength of the airframe. In the cold, if you use other types of covering and you develop a pin hole, you run the risk of exploding all the covering off of the airframe."

I guess you don't fly in cold weather. I know it doesn't say how cold or what other coverings but i use what the manufacturer uses. Perhaps this was written before monocote was made and monocote may be "good enough".

How did we get off the topic? Oh yes, ChuckAuger said i didn't know how to cover a plane. Well apparently its the ultracote and the temperature changes. Given that, the whiplash is for me. No covering issues and i know it wont come apart due to anything i have or have not done.

These are not "just airplanes".

Just my 40,000 cents.
