Default What covereing?

Hi guys

I am building a kit, a Four Star 40 and I am not too sure what covering would be the best to use. There are so many different types. And I am sure each has it's home.

I have only used Solarfilm on a SIG Kadet LT-40 and after 5 years the covering still looks good but not as tight is it used to be and re-ironing it does not seem to tighten it more.

I have also used monokote to patch/fix ARF's. I must say I am quite happy with Monokote, does not wrinkle if your plane stands in the sun all day and you hardly have to iron out wrinkles that just "show up"
