The covering material used on the Cub 400EP ARF is a
heat shrink polyester material. Because of this, it is pos-
sible with heat and humidity changes that the covering on
your airplane may wrinkle or sag. This trait is inherent in
all types of heat shrink material. To remove the wrinkles
you will need to purchase, or borrow from a fellow mod-
eler, a heat iron. If you need to purchase one, the Global
Sealing Iron is recommended.
A NOTE ABOUT COVERING
Follow these simple steps to remove the wrinkles:
❑
1)
Plug in and turn on the sealing iron to the me-
dium temperature setting. Allow the iron to heat up for
approximately 5 - 7 minutes.
❑
2)
After the iron has reached temperature, lightly
apply the iron to the wrinkled section of the covering.
Move the iron slowly over the wrinkled section until the
P/N 360900
covering tightens and the wrinkles disappear. You will
notice that the color of the covering will darken when it is
heated. When the covering cools back down, it will re-
turn to its normal color.
☛
If the color layer smears from any of the seams the
temperature of the iron is too hot. Turn the temperature
dial down and wait about 5 minutes for the iron to adjust
to the lower temperature. You can remove any color
streaks using a paper towel soaked with a small quantity
of acetone.
