1. Go over all seams and color overlaps with your
sealing iron.
Note:
Even if your models covering has no wrin-
kles out of the box it is still very important to
go over all seams and overlaps to make certain
they are sealed securely. This is especially
important at the leading edges of the wings and
stabs. We recommend checking the covering
after each flying session.
CHECKING SEAMS AND COLOR OVERLAPS FOR GOOD SEAL
SEALING HINGE GAPS
2. Use covering iron to ensure all edges, seams,
and color overlaps are securely sealed.
3.
Sealing hinge gaps.
This is an optional step
but is recommended
.
Cut strips of the supplied clear covering to fit
the hinge gaps. Use covering iron to seal the
clear covering snugly into the bottom of the
hinge lines as shown for air tight hinge seals.
Note:
The clear covering does have a transparent
protective backing. This must be removed
prior to applying heat and to the surface.
IMPORTANT
:
It is the responsibility of the purchaser /
operator to check the covering seams and
overlaps for security and a good seal.
Aeroworks is not responsible for failure of
covering seams or overlaps during flight.
Note:
If covering continues to lift apply a small
amount of thin CA underneath the covering.
Then using a clean rag apply pressure to secure.
One of the most important tools in your
flight box is a roll of clear tape. This can be
used at the field for fast and easy repairs of
the covering. Then once you have finished
flying the covering can be permanently
repaired.
