in addition to that last comment... the directions for the ultracote state that to adhere the covering to the plane, set your iron temperature to 220 degrees. i have a hobbico iron that has an adjustment on it but no temperature gauge. so i have no clue what the temp is at when I'm using it. any tips on that. aside from that. I'm not really looking to fly professional maneuvers and stuff with this plane, well not yet anyways, will this plane do fine with the way it is set up. not tieing the horizontal stabs together and what not. it is balanced perfect. i will beef up the landing gear though. also, the plane is used. i purchased it from a member on this website. the covering is starting to peel at edges and corners. any good ideas on how to take care of this problem, and how to maintain this beauty? in reply to EXCAP232, what is a good prop then? thank you
