A covering for small models but is the basis of a superb finish for larger all sheeted models.  The tissue provides a perfect skin to prevent wood cracks appearing and a base for the finishing system of sanding sealer and paint.  Effort put in with sandpaper and wet and dry will result in the ultimate finish.
 
The tissue is supplied in two weights, light, (called Lite Flite) and medium, (called Super Flite).
 
The light weight is ideal for very small free flight models whereas the medium is more suited to skinning and larger free flight models.

LITESPAN


Litespan is an ultra light covering for small models, those that would normally be covered in tissue and dope.  It is very light, strong and tough and requires no finishing coats.
 
Application is similar to other heat shrink materials but like Fibafilm Litespan is not coated with adhesive and therefore Balsaloc should be applied to the structure prior to covering.  Attach to the periphery of a panel and then shrink.
