I use Monokote and like it. I fly a lot and it holds up quite well. Ultracote has become more popular and I like it but haven't used it in a while. I would recommend highly against the use of EconoCote on fuel powered planes. I think it would be great for powerless or electric powered airplanes. I bought a dozen rolls of Econocote for $59.99 at a local hobby store in 97 or 98 and used it on a Dazzler, Sig Wonder, 4*40, and some on a Sig Kougar. I was impressed with EconCote at how easy it went on and how great it looked but it was all down hill later. After one year all the Econocote that was in contact with the exhaust residue unlaminated. The clear peeled off and the color coat turned into mush. I recovered all the planes with MonoCote and that is no fun. Mind you, I fly a lot. The SIG Wonder lasted a couple years because it wasn't flown much but since it lands on the grass and get scuffed up a lot I ignored it. When I recovered it the balsa was in bad shape. I also had to replace the Dazzler's aileron and elevator on the exhaust side because of soaked wood. I hear Tower cote is the same.
