Hangar 9 UltraCote Lite, Transparent Clear (HANU964)
The Hangar 9 UltraCote Lite Transparent Clear is a high-tech polyester RC plane covering designed to give your balsa aircraft a lightweight, professional finish. Featuring a unique multi temperature-controlled adhesive system, this scale model covering offers unmatched versatility for both beginners and experienced hobby technicians.
Engineered for maximum control and ease of application, Hangar 9 UltraCote Lite Transparent Clear utilizes a patented polymerizing process that permanently fuses color and structure to the polyester film, preventing color-layer separation and allowing easy repositioning during installation. Ideal for lightweight RC plane builds, this covering weighs a mere 0.12 oz/sq. ft. and offers exceptional flexibility to stretch and shrink smoothly around tight curves, compound contours, and wingtips. The material is fully waterproof and resistant to glow fuel, gasoline, and smoke oil. Precise thermal control ensures predictable results: adhesion to wood begins at 200°F–220°F, shrinkage onset occurs at 300°F, and maximum shrinkage is achieved at 350°F.
