Default RE: Ultracote Vs. Monokite


ORIGINAL: DavidAgar

I am another faithful Monokote user that changed to Ultracoat years ago, and for the same reasons. It is tough to get on, will not shrink, and when outside in the sun, it sags so much, it looks like it is about ready to fall off. Switched to Ultracoat and I have never looked back. Good Luck, Dave
I'm with Dave. Having spent considerable time fixing from flights that ended with spectacular crashes, I can say first hand - ULTRACOTE.

Monokote - in a breath - sucks! Especially when you apply heat.

Iscratch built this 80" WS Aeroworks E300L Profile and covered it using 3 rolls of Ultracote - not scrapping one piece.

On an earlier full build, I wasted a whole roll of Monokote just trying to cover wing bays.
