natural property of balsa wood. As your airplane adjusts to the weather in your part of the world, 
wrinkles may appear and disappear. Wrinkles may be removed with the gentle application of heat to 
the covering material on your airplane. The best tools to use are a heat gun and covering iron. Apply 
the heat gently: the covering material will shrink as you apply the heat, and this will remove the 
wrinkles. BE CAREFUL! Too much heat applied too quickly can damage the covering, either by 
causing it to pull away from the wood at seams and corners or even by melting it. The covering will 
shrink at low temperature with patient application of heat. Wrinkles in the covering DO NOT affect 
flight performance. If you must shrink on a color-seam, use the iron and go slowly and carefully to 
avoid any pulling or lifting at the seam. 
 Remove the canopy before attempting to use heat on your covering! The canopy is made of thermo-
activated plastic and WILL deform with the application of heat. Do not apply heat to the canopy. 

PAINT:

 If you need to clean your airplane, we recommend using a damp towel. The paint used on the canopy 
and cowl is not safe for all cleaners. In particular, DO NOT use alcohol on these parts, it will remove 
the paint. 

Let’s get started!
