tips From the pros

Covering material:
The covering material used on your airplane is real iron-on, heat-shrink covering material. It is possible with heat and humidity
changes that the covering on your airplane may wrinkle or sag. This trait is inherent in all types of heat-shrink material. To remove
any wrinkles that might be visible you will need to use a heat-sealing covering iron.
Follow this simple procedure to remove the wrinkles:
❑ Plug in and turn on the sealing iron to the medium-high temperature setting. Allow the sealing iron to heat up for approximately
5 - 7 minutes.
❑ After the sealing iron has reached temperature, lightly apply the sealing iron to the wrinkled section of the covering. Move the
sealing iron slowly over the wrinkled section until the covering tightens and the wrinkles disappear. If the color layer smears from any
of the seams you can remove the color streaks using a paper towel soaked with a small quantity of acetone.
Checking the Wings for Warps:
While many precautions have been taken during the production process to ensure that your airplane is constructed error-free, you
should check the wings to ensure that they have no warps. Warps can develop from the different temperature and humidity extremes
seen during the transport and shipping processes. To check for warps, look at each wing from the tip of the wing. Look carefully
down both the leading edge and the trailing edge. They should be straight. If you see a warp, you can remove it by twisting the wing
in the opposite direction of the warp, then by reshrinking the covering material tightly.
storage and transport:
We do not suggest storing your airplane in an extremely hot environment (like the back of your car in direct sunlight) for any length
of time. The extreme heat could cause the covering material to wrinkle and possibly damage the fragile components of the radio
control system or battery.
