Description
This page refers to Oralight, which is an extremely light covering, excellent for E-RES models. All Oralight covering is 36g/sq.m., which is 33% lighter than Profilm Transparent colours. It is currently only available in Australia in a few colours – white transparent (as on the Ava), yellow transparent, Light Chrome (Silver) and Transparent Blue are available. See the extra image in the gallery. Please note there is a warning about the Light Chrome – the manufacturers say “do not place this covering over any cables that receive signals as it may mask the signals – it has a thin layer of aluminium on the under side”. And it is very sticky to use (I have tried it).
Oralight is so popular for lightweight gliders. I will order it in for you if available, and give you a special price.
Oralight and Profilm is made in Germany, often marketed under the name Oracover. It is very good quality covering, easy to use and strong. It is highly recommended.
I also can obtain Oratex, which is fabric covering with a weave like Solartex – heavier and stronger than most – ideal for scale models – see them in the list.
All rolls are 2000mm x 600mm.
I can obtain any covering available in Australia – so, if you have a special need, get in touch and I will see what I can source for you.
