I covered a plane two years ago in blue, orange, white and yellow monokote, the first time in many years (25+). The yellow was transparent and you could see the balsa grain through the covering material.The white was morebetter.The orange was fine. Working on the wing I didn't thinkthe monokote heat shrinks like it used too. I remember if you had theheat a single spot for too long and you were liable tomelt through the covering, but it was taut. I had my iron turned almost to max and the stuff would barely shrink.

I have some a few rolls of ultrakote, but I haven't tried these out yet.

I have a dynaflite skeeter to cover in the next two weeks. The wing frame work is pretty light. If the new product doesn't shrink that much, the potential to twist the wing might be minimal.
