RE: TF Contender
OverTheEdge,
I have a Super Sportster that I used the Great Planes 1/16th Pin Stripe tape on and it has held up pretty good. He was going to use a Top Flite Panel Pen, but you have to fuel proof that and he did not want to have to clear coat the monokote so he went with the 1/16th pin stripe tape as well. It holds up pretty good, but the great thing is, its pretty cheap so if you get a strip that peels a little, then degreaser, soap and water, then alchol and just lay down another stripe.
He thought it would be really time consuming but, the panel lines only took a couple of hours. Hes got about 15 flights on her and they still look really good. She's powered with a Tower .46 and I will tell you, this plane really fly's well on a good .45 ABC engine. A Super Tigre or a OS .46 AX or an SK 50 is plenty of power. You all looking at running .60s I would prop those using a 12x6 or 13x6 or even a 13x5 and get vertical.
