Default Slipstream MXS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone tell me what kind of covering does Slipstream use on their planes ????

They never answer any emails....

Any help would be great, trying to do a colour match for the lime green....

Thanks in advance...

I think it might be this covering, but not sure. I have the same plane and the green covering on it is actually different on the front and wings than on the tail. The tail and turtledeck covering looks faded for some reason. Must be from different rolls of covering. Typical China QC.

Thanks guys...

Like you said the QC was pretty bad, they have the star on my green one and it was missing one whole point on the right wing!

Wasn't too impressed...

Steve I ordered two rolls of the green from Hobby King, it wasn't even close....

I guess if you like the plane enough, you could recover the whole thing, custom scheme.

I am told that Slipstream, Goldwing etc are the same aircraft or atleast from the same factory. In that case, the covering would be Oracover. I am not sure who carries Oracover internationally. My LHS has some but is such old stock, its quite unusable. Pheonix (atleast their more expensive models) use the same stuff, so do Black Horse, Seagull, Pilot RC etc. May be this information can help

Over the years, manufactures claim that Oracover is also known as Ultra cote in North America. Any thoughts or corrections?
