I always hated the vinyl junk that my VQ Hornet came with. It's always wrinkly when I want to go flying, doesn't add much skin strength and the sticky side picks up all kinds of debris that makes its way inside the plane, and repair pieces don't stick well to it. Don't buy ARFs with vinyl covering if you prefer proper iron on covering. It's junk in my opinion.
When I removed the covering to put on new the whole plane was covered in sticky residue from the vinyl. Ugh. I almost threw it in the bin. I cleaned it up as good as I could and decided to try covering it and luckily it went ok.
