Hi guys
I am building a 33% extra 300 and I was considering using hobby kings covering material. Does anyone have any info on the quality of this covering and their experience with it? thank Eddie

I just got a message to come on and answer this. The stuff is outstanding in every way except they don't have a lot of colors to choose from compared to mono. It goes down with lower heat then even Ultra. Shrinks perfectly and does not wrinkle or bubble in the hot sun on Vegas. Comes in 5 m rolls for the price of about 12 bucks.
If you iron too hot and slide out some of the glue it will show as white, when finished just wipe it off with a bit of acetone on a rag.
It is very similar to Ultra, Ultra was what I used until I gave the chinacote a try, now the chinacote is all I will use for the main covering.
It will not go on as trim using ammonia like Mono but neither will Ultra.
I showed it's use on a build thread I did on the Prime Cut +20. Really good stuff.
Rick Stubbs gave me a roll to test and that one roll covered my Prime Cut.
Nuff said!!

It's the best film covering I've ever used. Far better than monokote. I used the "bright silver" on my P-47 and get compliments on the "real aluminum" finish all the time.

Gray Beard, Welcome back!

gray beard thanks for your reply I am going to give chinacote a try. I would like to see the build thread you did on the prime cut+20 Its looks like a good subject to build .
Thanks again Eddie

The PC+20 is really an easy build and the CAD plans are the reason why. I'm so used to having to fight and swear on every build then have to redraw everything. This wasn't the case with the PC, every part fit and lined up correctly.
It's really an easy plane to fly too. Kinda odd looking though!! The odd design is really a money saver though and this is a great plane for any builder wanting to get into the giants.
The plans are from Model Airplane News or Airage, same thing!

How do you use it for trim? As stated, ammonia does not work.
