When precision meets durability in the world of RC aircraft coverings
The Covering Conundrum Every Aviation Enthusiast Faces
Every model aircraft builder knows the heartbreak: hours of meticulous work ruined by covering film that bubbles, sags, or bleeds at the seams. Conventional solutions force impossible choices – either accept fragile finishes that crack under sunlight or endure heavyweight materials that compromise flight performance. The industry’s dirty secret? Most covering films can’t withstand both the chemical assault of fuel exposure and the physical demands of aerial maneuvers.
Enter Oracover Fun-3 – where aerospace-grade polyester meets artist-grade finish in a revolutionary material that solves seven critical pain points simultaneously.
“After 20 years in RC modeling, I’ve never encountered a covering that combines this level of durability with such a flawless finish.”
– Michael R., Aerospace Engineer & Competition Flyer

From Frustration to Flight-Ready: The Oracover Transformation
The Struggle
James, an RC competition flyer, watches helplessly as his championship model’s covering peels mid-flight after fuel exposure. The delicate balance between weight and durability has failed yet again.
The Discovery
At a regional meet, he notices competitors using Oracover’s distinctive pearl charcoal finish. The material withstands direct fuel spills without discoloration or edge lifting.
The Application
To his amazement, the low-temperature adhesive perfectly contours his foam components without distortion. Two misplaced sections are easily lifted and reapplied without damage.
The Victory
Six months later, the same covering survives 42 flights, three minor crashes, and countless fuel cleanings – still maintaining its structural integrity and showroom finish.
Engineering Breakthroughs That Matter
The Second-Chance Revolution
Unlike traditional model aircraft coverings that bond permanently on first contact, Oracover’s patented polymer structure allows microscopic realignment of adhesive molecules. This means you get multiple opportunities to achieve perfect positioning without the dreaded color-layer separation that plagues other films.
Thermal Intelligence
The secret lies in Oracover’s graduated adhesive activation. While standard coverings require uniform high heat that can distort foam, Fun-3’s specially formulated adhesive activates progressively – securing foam components at just 80°C while achieving full structural bonds at higher temperatures for balsa and composite surfaces.
Ready to Transform Your Aircraft Finishing Process?
The Oracover Fun-3 Large Cheq Pearl Charcoal/Black isn’t just another covering film – it’s a complete reimagining of what model aircraft protection should be. At just $34.98 per 2-meter roll, you’re investing in frustration-free applications and competition-grade durability.
