Hangar 9 UltraCote True Red RC Aircraft Covering 60cm x 2m Roll - HANU866

Hangar 9 UltraCote True Red (HANU866) is a heat-shrink polyester film covering designed for building and recovering balsa and wood-framed RC aircraft models. Supplied in a 60cm x 2m roll, it gives builders a practical working size for wings, fuselages, and tail surfaces on a wide range of model aircraft. UltraCote is a well-established choice among RC aircraft builders who want a covering that handles curves and wingtips reliably without lifting or bubbling over time.

Key Features

• Multi-temperature adhesive system bonds to wood from 200–220°F, begins shrinking at 300°F, and reaches maximum shrinkage at 350°F — giving precise control during application.
• Patented polymerizing process permanently fuses the True Red colour into the polyester film, preventing colour-layer separation and allowing repositioning before final bonding.
• Can both shrink and stretch, making it well suited to tight curves, compound surfaces, and wingtips where flat coverings tend to wrinkle.
• Fuel-proof against glow fuel, petrol, and smoke oil, and fully waterproof — suitable for both glow-powered and petrol-powered models.
• Lightweight construction at 0.30 oz per sq ft keeps added weight minimal on finished builds.
