9. Find the two elevons. Sand a 45 degree angle on
the leading edge of each elevon. Make sure you make
a right and a left elevon. Also, lightly bevel the under-
side of each elevon. This will make the wing faster as
you will need less reflex to fly (up elevator).
Covering Instructions
You can cover the model either with colored covering
tape or iron on film. I like to use either Solarfilm
or Econokote to cover with. Both are low-temp
coverings and are easy to work with. If you don’t
have experience or the tools to cover with iron on
films, colored covering tape works well and is easy
to use. I like to use two contrasting colors so that it is
easy to keep orientation while flying.
1. Start by covering one side of the bottom of the
wing. Lay the part of the wing you want to cover over
the covering film and mark out where to cut the cover-
ing. Leave at least 1.5” excess around the wing.
2. Use low heat settings on your iron and iron the
covering to the center of the wing. Then stretch the
covering and iron it to the tip of the wing. Now,
stretch the covering and iron it to the leading and trail-
ing edges. You will shrink the center of the covering
after you cover the whole wing. Trim excess covering.
3. Now cover the other side of the bottom wing using
the same covering technique. Make sure to overlap
the center of the wing by at least 1/2”. Trim Excess.
4. Now cover one side of the top wing. Using the
same technique as before, iron the edges down, mak-
ing sure to overlap the bottom covering by 1/2”. Trim
excess.
