Optional Configurations
You have the option of using a pull-pull rudder servo or a push-pull rudder servo setup. Fasteners, control horns and
servo connecting rods are provided for optional rudder setups.
Covering
The covering on your Slick may have developed loose areas through temperature and humidity changes between
manufacturing and shipping. This may also occur during the summer heat. The covering may require retightening a few
times during your first summer of flying.
Take a few minutes to go over all of the seams making sure all edges are secure. Then proceed to shrinking any area
that may need tightening. (Use an iron on all seams. Use a heat gun on open areas and sheeted areas. An iron can be
used in open and sheeted areas but hold the iron slightly above the surface. You don’t want press the covering into the
wood. Using an iron sock will reduce scratches.

At 200-220°F (93-104°C) the adhesive on UltraCote® becomes
active allowing the covering to be attached to the model. While
220° will fully bond the covering to the model it is well below
the temperature that causes UltraCote® to shrink.
At 300°F (149°C) the initial shrinking of UltraCote® begins.
At 350°F (176°C) UltraCote® reaches its maximum shrinking
point. Raising the temperature above this point will not cause
further shrinkage.
Use as little heat as needed. Using too much heat may cause
reshrinking issues later.
Pro Tip - If the iron you're using does not display the actual
temperature, here is a tip that will ensure your iron is properly
set.Water boils at 212°F. Allow your iron to warm up at a
medium setting. When the iron reaches its stabilized
temperature, carefully pour a few drops of water on the iron's
surface. Adjust the temperature until the water just begins to
