I just dont have the room or time to build the Patriot and I dont have the covering skill to cover these planes
That to my mind is so sad. If you put an hour a night on the plane it will be done in a couple of months. Covering is not insurmountable if you have someone to show you how. Building for me is half the joy to the hobby. I wish you would reconsider, if not there are a lot of good builders out there.

John, I have been building my own planes and flying for 18+ years and I have built many kits and from plans. I am waiting for an RA5 Vigilante that is a twin 90mm electric ducted fan that is 85 inches long and a 65 wingspan. I am going to be building some seriously complicated and fast electric ducted fan I have two waiting to be fiberglassed and painted yes thats right glassed and painted with real West Systems Epoxy and 3/4 cloth and painted with my De Villbiss detail gun and airbrush with automotive paint and others. I never could cover well so I learned to fiberglass and paint. I enjoy doing it and I am allot better using that finishing method than anytype of film covering. I have not been able to build for the last two years due to health and I am really behind in planes because of it. I dont have the skill to cover my foam Kyosho T-33 with the Ultracote plus and I really would like to fly those planes while I build 2 glow ducted fans and at least 5 90mm brushless and lipo powered. So I can build I just want to get two planes done so I could fly them while I built some very complicated scale aircraft

I I have never flown a 3D plane in my life.
