I have seen the Hanger Nine Stick with ultracote, looks nice when new, but after several flights the covering is in really sad shape, peeling off, full of wrinkles. I know several people like ultracote because it goes on easy. I always say easy on means easy off when it comes to ultracote, personally I try to stay away from it.
It's amazing how different people view things. I've got a Skybolt covered in Monokote and the blasted covering wrinkles back up every time the thing gets hot in the sun. Same deal with the monokoted Decathlon. Every airplane I got that's covered in Ultracote has had the same treatment those got and hasn't seen an iron or wrinkles since the 2nd week. Some of them showed wrinkles after the first outing but chased them with the iron that night and nothing has shown up since.
I have a feeling the area of the contry you live in and where the ARF came from might be the difference.
See any wrinkles in this picture. It was taken about a month after the maiden flights.
