Monokote or Solarflex
 

Hey All,
Building a park flyer, with a 6' wingspan.

What is the advantages or disadvantage of
Monokote or Solarflex


Thanks,

Monokote is a little heavy for a park flyer

6' wingspan is a little big for a park flyer;)

But seriously, I built a little 36" span Herr Texan and covered it with Ultracote. The covering only weighed about an ounce.

Monokote is a covering material for model airplanes, Solarflex is a white elastomeric coating and Soloflex is an excersize machine made by the same people who are endlessly trying to sell you the "Bowflex".

Solartex is a fabric material also used for covering model airplanes.

Well he did ask what the difference was lol

RE: Monokote or Solarflex
 

I would vote for neither and suggest UltraCote. I think you would like working with it better.

I have no clue as to what SolarFlex is and it's connection to model airplanes

The different transparent Ultracote colors or clear would be my choice for a park flyer.

Monokote transparents weigh less than solids

TowerKote and Econokote covering weighs less than Monokote

SolarTex is a coated dacron fabric that is too heavy for a park flyer
