Default RE: Austar cessna 188 AG Husky Review

Outacontrol,

I have the orange. 4 years old. They tell you it is Monocote - It's rubbish. The covering will get to a yellow tinge as it gets older - regardless of exposure to sun or not. The covering they use is so thin and poor it is almost transparent.

I needed to recover the fuselage due to a fire on board within. I used orange Oracover/Profilm and it is superb. The wings are still original and continue to deteriorate. All real crop dusters are usually in a poor state of presentation anyway so I suppose it's no big deal.

Careful, unless attended to you will eventually lose your ribbed plastic elevator and aileron add ons when airborne.
