I just covered two planes with Worldtex - which is Solartex from a different distributor - and I will never, ever use Monokote or any mylar again on any plane I build. Last week I stripped all the Monokote off of a third - a Tiger 2 - with the sole intent of recovering it with Worldtex which is available from Horizon Hobbies.

Solartex/Worldtex is many times easier to use than plasic film, goes around curves like paint, can be ironed over itself without bubbles (no Windex needed), shrinks very well and looks much, much better, almost as good as silk.

Worldtex was a couple of bucks cheaper than Solartex the last time I checked: $15 vs. $17. And it comes in a meter roll, so you get a bit more than with Monokote. It's great stuff.

A Cub just cries out for this type of covering material. Have you ever seen a shiny, plastic full size Cub?
