I have two ARF airplanes and I have been disappointed to find they are not MonoKote or other heat shrink/heat fused covering. The covering reminds me of the plastic coated contact paper that is sticky on one side. You cannot heat shrink and repair this stuff.
Leafing through catalogs I find that there are very few ARFs that cite a heat shrink covering. Also there are very few that are "Ready to Cover."
I like the convenience of ARF, but I'm not happy with the covering situation. Any thoughts?
