Covering
The covering on your Laser may have developed loose areas through temperature and humidity changes between
manufacturing and shipping. This may also occur during the summer heat. The covering may require retightening a few
times during your first summer of flying.
Take a few minutes to go over all of the seams making sure all edges are secure. Then proceed to shrinking any area
that may need tightening. (Use an iron on all seam edges. Use a heat gun on open areas and sheeted areas. An iron can
be used in open and sheeted areas but hold the iron slightly above the surface. You don’t want press the covering into
the wood. Using an iron sock will reduce scratches.

All airframe components are covered in genuine Ultracote covering.

Locate the wing positioning holes and cutouts in the
side of the fuselage. Using a covering iron, adhere the
area around the openings in the fuselage side then trim
away the covering. At the tail of the fuselage locate the horizontal stabilizer
mounting holes, alignment pin hole, and 2 screw holes.
They are located just above the rudder cable exit. Using
a covering iron, adhere the area around the openings in
the fuselage side then trim away the covering.
At 200-220°F (93-104°C) the adhesive on UltraCote® becomes active
allowing the covering to be attached to the model. While 220° will fully
bond the covering to the model it is well below the temperature that
causes UltraCote® to shrink.
At 300°F (149°C) the initial shrinking of UltraCote® begins.
At 350°F (176°C) UltraCote® reaches its maximum shrinking point. Raising
the temperature above this point will not cause further shrinkage.
Use as little heat as needed. Using too much heat may cause reshrinking
issues later.
Pro Tip - If the iron you're using does not display the actual temperature,
here is a tip that will ensure your iron is properly set.Water boils at
212°F. Allow your iron to warm up at a medium setting. When the iron
reaches its stabilized temperature, carefully pour a few drops of water on
the iron's surface. Adjust the temperature until the water just begins to
boil off. This method is surprisingly accurate and is generally within 10°
(of the exact application temperature of 220).
