I have always used Monokote until I bought a couple of H9 ARF's and did some mods that required the use of Ultracote. I have noticed the Ultracote shrinks a lot better than Monokote but after a trip to the field, wrinkles re-appear whereas my Monokote covered planes stay tight. I'm sticking' to Monokote wherever possible.
Cheers,

I have had the exact same experiences with Ultracote. I've had 2 Dave Patrick Ultimates that were covered in Ultra cote. No matter what I did I could not keep the covering tight. I would have to go back over it after several flying days. On the other hand I've had planes that I've covered with Monokote that have stayed tight for the entire flying season. I'm sticking with Monokote. If there is some trick to keeping Ultracote tight I'd sure appreciate hearing it.
I realize that this discussion is kind of like Ford vs. Chevy and that everybody has their own opinion on the matter, I just wanted to share my experience with the matter.
