SECTION 5: A NOTE ABOUT COVERING
The covering material used on the Sportsman Aviation F-20 Tigershark 40 ARF is real iron-on, heat-shrink covering
material, not cheap "shelf paper." Because of this, 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 purchase, or borrow from a fellow modeler, a heat iron. If you need to purchase
one, the
Global Heat Sealing Iron # 360900
is recommended.
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.

You will notice that the color of the covering will darken when it is heated. When the covering cools
back down, it will return to its normal color.
☞
If the color layer smears from any of the seams the temperature of the sealing iron is too hot. Turn the temperature dial
down and wait about 5 minutes for the sealing iron to adjust to the lower temperature. You can remove any excess color
streaks using a paper towel soaked with a small quantity of Acetone.
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 or sag and possibly
damage canopy and the fragile components of the radio system.
