what does it mean when it says "Hanger 9 Ultracote lite" what is the difference between Goldberg Ultrakote and this one, or is there a difference between regular and lite? Whew!! lots of questions huh.

I don't know about the "lite" version of Ultrakote, but I can answer about Goldberg. The Ultrakote used by Goldberg is the same Ultrakote sold by Hangar 9/Horizion Hobby. With Goldberg recently being purchased by Great Planes you can expect for future planes to be covered in Monokote because Ultrakote is the product of GP's competitor. I spoke with a rep from Hobbico about the covering on the Goldberg Falcon and they way they are phrasing is is "A premium polyester heat shrink material".

As a side note Oracover is the name that Ultrakote is sold under overseas.

Ken, does polyester indicate that it is some type of fabric?

opps. typo there. I meant "poly-vinyl". a.k.a. PVC

Not enough coffee in my brain yet this morning.

Hummmm I'm thinking that polyester is some form of plastic and not fabric. Guess I was thinking of the 60's with the polyester suits.

I got a cup on the way for ya

Ultracote lite is a thinner covering material and thus it weighs less and is quite transparent.
