RE: Monokote....Never Again
I bought this E-flite electric F-86 from Horizon Hobbies a few months ago. It looked pretty good when it came out of the box. The covering looked good, and there wasn't a wrinkle on it. The fuselage is painted fiberglass, but the wings and stabs are covered with their brand of covering, which I believe is Ultracote, correct? I may be wrong about the brand of covering, but I doubt it. Either way, the covering sucks!
I took the plane out to the field to fly it last week, and within five minutes of being in the sun (it was only 80° that day), the wings looked horrible. There were bubbles and wrinkles everywhere ... before I even had the first flight!
Monokote never did this to me.
Here are the pictures.
