Hello all,

I was wondering if someone could answer some questions about different coverings.

Monokote, Towerkote, Econocote, any others.

Difference in weight, strength and adhesives?

The plane I'm building is a copy of the SR Batteries Cutie, with some mods. Speed 400 motor.

Thanks very much,
Chad

Hello Chad,

I can break down your question into paragraphs of numbers, too much work. I had the same question, as you are asking now. The link below answered all of my covering questions, when I first got into kit, and scratch building. I know the covering can turn into a scientific issue, so here ya! go Chad, calculate away in Sailplanes covering calculator.http://www.fatlion.com/sailplanes/weights.html :D
