The covering material used on the Clancy Aviation Speedy Bee ARF 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 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 and possibly damage the fragile components
of the radio control system.

PRO TIP
The LiPO battery that you choose MUST be able to handle the current draw of your motor, gear box and propeller
combination. Before charging or otherwise using your LiPO battery pack, please read all warnings included with it.
Smaller capacity LiPO flight batteries may be too light to balance the airplane properly. In this case, it may be necessary
to add some nose weight to balance the airplane.
