I started out using Mono and then they changed the formula and shrinking was hit or miss depending on the color so I went to the Ultra and was amazed at how easy it is to put on and how well it shrinks. They don't have as many colors as Mono though. They did have there matching paint too but we can't get it in the states any longer?? I have some of the paint on hand but when it's gone it's gone!!
I was given a roll of the Chinakote last year to try and wow, really good stuff!!! I have only used the yellow though but my next order I will try the other colors.I still use Mono but only for trim work. Here in the desert our summers are quite warm {Understatement!} and MOno tends to sag and wrinkle in our heat. Once Ultra has been cured it has no problems with the heat. I do most of my work in the summer and when I finish a plane I set it in the hot sun before I do any trim work, take it back into the shop and shrink it again then repeat until it no longer sags.
So far the Chinakote hasn't sagged and I haven't cured it on either plane.
People have there favorites and to debate the brand of covering here on RCU has been beaten to death over the years. So far for me it has been Ultra and China and because of the price I have now become a big fan of the Chinakote and sticking with it. When I got this ARF it came with a roll of the Ultra so I knew there wouldn't be a problem.
I have had a problem with the Ultra chrome/silver and the Mono was a lot better so even Ultra isn't fool proof.
