Default Poll--Which covering do you use and why?

Started out using Monokote and stayed with it many years. Early on also used solar film on a couple of planes. Wasn't too happy with it. It tended to be saggy.

A couple of years ago I got some Oz Mid weight covering. I really like this. When you get it on it comes out clear. Then you can paint it - I use rustoleum - and end up with a real tough covering. I have gotten to the poin that this is my preferred covering on a new plane.


Recently used mica film on a park flyer. Handles real well. I am not too sold on having to put a "stickum" (Balsarite) on the plane first. Guess I have gotten too lazy with the other films with the bbuilt-in adhesive.
