I am 99% done with my first kit, the elder 40. I have asked a bunc of questions on here during the building process and have recieved a tremendous amount of help! When I covered mine, i decieded to use ultracote for the first time.I had used monokote to recover badly done arf's and they always looked horrible. When using the ultracote, I found that when I used the iron, it would stretch and conform to the shape of the ribs, leaving that classic look. I honestly think if I would have used monokote, I wouldnt have got this effect. Also, the ultrakote made covering the wingtips a breeze, a known diffulculty in this plane. Im not trying to sell you on UK but it made covering the plane a LOT easier.. Also I bought a heat gun to assist in the covering of this plane. I can get almost any wrinkle out of ANY type of covering with the gun.. it is an invaluable covering tool... Hope this helps
