Painting
1-Lightly coat all surfaces of the Evapolar foam with Lite Spackling
makings sure to get material in all open voids in the foam.

3-Spray or Brush one coat of Min wax Poly acrylic water base urethane.
4-Sand smooth with Very Fine Sand paper and wipe with tack rag.
5-If using a kit with dark green or blue foam, spray one coat of Latex based
Interior white paint, if using the White Eagle kit skip this step.
6-Using white Zagi tape cover top surface of wing and elevon area and smooth
all air bubbles with flat smoothing tool, *note: be careful here when
positioning the tape, you get one chance since pulling the tape back up will
also pull off the paint* use a 1/8" overlap and run the tape lengthwise
nose to tail.

used Bright Red)
