Covering Film Requirements
While any high quality model film may be used to finish this model. Superior results will be achieved
using genuine AeroLITE brand model airplane covering film. The lower working temperature and superior
light weight of AeroLITE are especially desirable for this style of model airplane. AeroLITE is 1/3 the
weight of the typical model airplane covering film and will represent a weight savings over competing films
when applied to this model.
☐

☐
1 - Patch Pack AeroLITE Trim Color (bright red)
Wood Sealant Suggestions
While not required, it is suggested that a high quality lacquer based clear sealant be applied SPARINGLY
to seal and protect the wood grain in humid environments. One single light misting of this sealant will be
sufficient to repel water without adding significantly to the models final flying weight. Likewise, much of
this model can be colored using a compatible lacquer based spray paint. Below are our suggestions, feel
free to use your preferred product.
