Default RE: GP super skybolt?!

Yeah, I want to get it all together, and the covering scheme looks awsome, but it's not till I tried to shrink it that I became concerned about the covering. I guess I'll just have to live with it, but the first hole in a wing panel and it's getting stripped and recovered, just as an example, I went flying this weekend, I brought a Eagle II arf that I use as a trainer, I bought it for a friend and he decided to keep it at my house, since he only flies when I train him, I also had my lil extra by HERR, I had to recover it in monocote after a small incident, bolth have been sitting in the back of my cherokee for 3 days now, the ARF eagle is wrinkled and sagging, even the covering on one tip of the wing has let go and is no longer is attached. I ironed down all the edges and shrank the covering on it when I assembled it for him, so it has crap covering in my mind. The herr lil extra is still tight as a drum and has nothing wrinkled or peeling up on it. I really hate having to re shrink covering before flying any plane, it should stay tight no matter what. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one to have this issue with the covering.
