COVERING MATERIAL 

Your  EDGEtra  ARF is covered with ORACOVER®, a premium quality 
covering made in Germany, and sold in the U.S. by Hangar-9 as 
Ultracote®. 

Colors Used On Your Airplane 

      ORACOVER® White            (Ultracote® #HANU870) 
      ORACOVER® Black              (Ultracote® #HANU874) 
      ORACOVER® Apple Green (Ultracote® #HANU903) 
      ORACOVER® Light Gray     (Ultracote® #HANU882) 

       

If sometime in the future you need replacement covering or matching 
paint for repairs, they are available from your local hobby dealer or 
online from Hangar-9. 

How to Tighten Loose Covering 

After you open your EDGEtra ARF and take all the covered parts out of 
their plastic bags, the covering may begin to wrinkle.  This is not 
unusual and is no cause for alarm.   

Your airplane was built and covered in a part of the world which has 
relatively high humidity and therefore, the wood was likely carrying a 
fair amount of moisture.  When exposed to drier air, the wood typically 
loses this moisture, dimensionally "shrinking" in the process.  In turn, 
this may cause some wrinkles.  However, wrinkles are easy to remove 
by just using a hobby type heat iron.  Caution: Trying to remove the 
wrinkles by hastily going over them with a heat gun can lead to more 
problems.  You should take your time to carefully go over the entire 
model with a covering iron, as we will describe. 

We suggest using a model airplane covering iron for this process. Cover 
the iron's shoe with a thin cotton cloth, such as an old T-shirt, to 
prevent scratching the covering as you work. After covering your iron, 
the next step is to set the iron to the correct temperature.  This is
