Hell... it would cost that for covering. How much weight does the vinyl add?

I just recovered the ailerons on my H9 33% Edge after I stiffened them so I can use a single aileron servo.

I bit the bullet and got myself one of those Coverite irons... the digitally controlled ones. Best investment I ever made... it gets to the temps you want fast, and it tells you when it's there +- 3 degrees. Awesome!!! When I set 220 degrees so as not to get any shrinkage with Ultracote, that's exactly what I got... no shrinkage. Anyway, I was able to iron Ultracote over Ultracote without getting any bubbles at all... just use low heat and go slowly across the surface. Worked great on the flat surfaces, but I'm not sure how well it would do on compound curves.

Anyway... it is doable for those that care.
