How much Ultracote do I need for a 48" wing?
I just bought a Combat Wing XE2-48" and want to know how much Ultracote covering I'll need to completely cover it? The Ultracote comes in 1 meter sheets.
Thanks!

I thought it came in 72" rolls about 30" wide? But you will need at least 2 rolls one color for the top and one for the bottom. If you can afford it and the hobby shop will take returns if you don't open the rolls I would get 4 to be sure. I am getting ready to cover a 48" Unicorn and plan on useing 2 rolls myself.

I think he talking about the Ultracote strips you buy for trimming or repair, they are about 5 inches wide and covered with adhesive. I would not use these they will end up being more expensive than a standard roll.
You would probably need about 6 and at $3 a strip that is more expensive than 1 roll.

No,
I'm talking about the full size covering but on the few sites I've looked at I can't find the demensions. One site indicated a roll to be 1 meter long but I haven't found any info. on the demensions of a full roll? Not even on Horizon Hobby. I've bought some rolls and the deminsions aren't even on the packaging.
Thanks for the help though,
Tom
