Which one? Monokote or 21st century fabric???
I need some opinions to cover 66" wingspan pitts special. I have used monokote in the past with success, and I am inclined to use the same here (even though it is "toy" shiny for an aircraft) due to its sheer strength.
However, I hear that many people have also been using 21st century fabric for giant scale applications, and I wonder if any of you have an idea which will suit better to this bipe in terms of looks, ease of covering and especially sturdiness due to this plane's aerobatic features.
Please let me know.

If I had a choice I'd use monokote. The ease of cleaning is the big factor. The fabric has a weave. I never found it very easy to clean.

I like the idea of the fabric look on a pitts personally. I don't think you'll see a big advantage or disadvantage with either product. Just make sure you throw us some pics when you're done with it.
