of solvents to a minimum.
3. Apply desired paint as recommended above.
4. Once paints are dry apply Lock Tight 200 adhesive over entire area to be
laminated. Allow to dry for 10-15 minutes.
5. Apply lamination film as directed in the no paint. See section I #3.
6. All areas should be overlapped by one inch.
7. Wing ends should be capped with lamination film. This allows the use of
Goop to attach the winglets.
8. Once the plane has been painted and prepped apply laminating film with
hobby iron at approximately 225 degrees and increase temperate until
desired results occur.

1. Hold the control surface against the trailing edge of the airplane. Mark
the balsa with light pen or sharp object to ensure the prop cutout area
and winglet area follow the same lines. This needs to be done so the
movement of the elevon does not interfere with the winglet.
2. After marking use a balsa saw (Zona) or multiple passes with a sharp
razor and a straight edge to achieve desired cuts.
3. Manufacturer suggests trimming the inboard side of the trailing edge so
the elevon tapers inboard approximately 1/3 of the way to the outboard
end. See online build threads for examples.
4. Sand trimmed elevons with 200-250 grit sand paper.
5. If painting elevons is desired best results will be achieved by spraying
LockTight 200 over dried, painted surface prior to laminating. The
laminating film does not adhere properly to painted surface without the
layer of 200.
6. Pre trim laminating film for control surfaces. Leave enough laminating
film around the edges to properly wrap and seal.
7. After the elevon has been covered, use small pieces of Scotch tape
(Magic Tape) and pre mount elevon to the trailing edge of the plane.
