FINISHING

For finishing and sealing the wing surfaces, we recommend using only 3 or 4 light coats of Satin or Semi-Gloss lacquer varnish manufactured by DEFT (available from The Home Depot, Lowe's, Wall Mart stores). After applying the first and second light coats, sand the surface using 400 grid sand paper, then apply a very light 3-rd coat, and 4-th coat if desired. Color option: After applying two coats of lacquer and sanding between coats, you can spray third coat (from a good distance) of chosen color lacquer then spray one more light coat of clear over. Attention! Prior to using lacquer, any white foam surface should be sealed by applying a film like coat of epoxy.

BALANCING

The balance should be accomplished by placing the radio gear maximum forward inside of the fuselage. Doing this you should be able to avoid adding any nose ballast weight or reduce the amount of added weight to a minimum.
