Does look nice in a different color, and the covering should hold up a lot longer than the factory Toughlon covering.

After 3 years my Sky Raider Mach II was flying on packing tape - every flight required more and more tape to hold it together. The plastic was separating from the backing all over the plane. I just couldn't see putting $40.00 worth of covering into a $65.00 plane so I just retired it. I'll get a new one with the pinched nose to pylon race next year -I wont mind putting some Monokote on a plain white version of the Sky Raider.

Forget about retracts in it. There is not enough structure in the wing to withstand any type of landing gear, let alone retracts. Plus you have the weight gain from retracts that will ruin the fun flight characteristics of the design.
