AIRCRAFT COVERING
1. With all ARFs, varying temperatures and storage delays can cause covering material to loosen over time
and transportation. recommends lightly going over all the covering with a covering iron set at medium
temperatures. Be sure to use a soft cover over your iron so you do not scratch the covering surface.
Be sure you go over all seams and edges of the covering to assure it is secure to the airframe and other
covering. Be careful not to apply too much heat or you may cause bubbles or damage to the covering.
A heat gun may also be used along with a soft cotton cloth to shrink and adhere the covering. Again,
be extremely careful when using a heat gun.
2. Be sure to seal any exposed wood with a thin coating of epoxy to prevent engine oil from soaking
in. This is especially important around the engine compartment and servo openings with exposed
areas.
