Enclosed with your kit is the text label in your desired color. It is not recognizable, however; it is rolled up together with
two stripes of 360mm length and 15mm height. There is a transparent cover sheeting on the letters and the circumcircle
foil has not been removed because very often the filigree letters do not retain well on the wax sheet upon removing the
foil around the letters.
It is better to remove the complete sticker from the wax paper together with the transparent cover sheet.
In order for you to identify the front and back side, I have marked the beginning of the text with a black marker line (at the
location of the
H
from
H
enseleit Helicopters
).
Cut the two stickers between
Henseleit
and
Helicopters
. You can identify this position when
holding the sticker against the light. One part of the sticker will be positioned before and the other part after the tail
clamp. Keep a distance of 10mm between the clamp and the sticker.
Note: Apply the sticker in dry condition without water and dishwasher fluid. Therefore you have to take care to have the
right position when starting to apply the sticker. Lay down the helicopter on the side to be able to look exactly from the top
on the area.
Take the stripe with both hands from the left and right side after removing the wax sheet. Then close up to the tail boom.
Look exactly perpendicular on the helicopter lying on the side and take care the foil is positioned in the center and parallel
on the tail boom. Carefully set the label onto the tail boom and sweep it on. Then remove the transparent rip-off foil.
Now start to remove the needless foil around the text label from the tail boom, at the other end (where the
T
/
S
is located
of
Henseleit Helicopters
). Release one corner with your finger nails to get a grasp on the foil and
carefully remove it. Observe how the foil separates from the letters. Should any of them lift off, push them down with a
sharp object. Usually this works well because the letters stick to the tail boom far better than to the wax sheet. If the
letters tend to lift off easily, give it another stronger sweep across the complete sheet. At the end, you need to remove
sheet remains from the closed parts of the letters O, P and R. Preferably, you would remove the remains with a needle,
by pricking it into the remains and lifting them away.
Repeat the complete procedure on the other side of the tail boom. In contrary to the diagram, the text label does not
propagate from the front to the rear, but rather the other way around. Finally press the letters carefully on the tail boom.
