Re: [RCSE] Monocote v.s. Ultracote

I find that Monocote will satisfactorily stiffen an open-bay built-up wing. I find Ultracote is more rubbery and is better used on flat, solid surfaces. I built a Chrysalis wing with Ultracote and it fluttered like mad on launch! I stripped it off and replaced with Monocote and never got another

Hi there, Well I e-mailed the guy. And asked him if they were computer designed. He sent me some photos of those same planes in flight, so they are not fake photos. Still one hell of a covering job. Thanks, Jay RCSE-List facilities

Re: [RCSE] Monocote v.s. Ultracote

The Allegro Lite is another case in point. It is designed for Monokote on the center panel for torsional stiffness. This design choice was made before I had any real torsional stiffness numbers. After I built the center panel I measured the torsional stiffness before and after covering with
