Sorry Love2FlyMN, I might have miss led you on the price, the 10 meter Natural roll is $102. I got it from www.balsausa,com ,check them out. Natural is if your going to paint it, they have colors but they need to be clear coated to prevent staining, that's a choice if your running a nitro engine, makes it easier to clean it.

Don't put any kind of sealer on the wood first, it needs to be raw wood. Some guys spray there frame work with a sealer when doing film covering, just don't do it if using Solartex.

5 meters will not cover your plane, it's 28" wide, a 10 meter roll will do the job with some left over, good to have if you ever have to patch it up, things happen,
