Laminate Film & Covering for RC Foam Airplanes

Protect, strengthen, and streamline your EPP and EPO foam aircraft with ReadyMadeRC’s selection of laminate films and covering materials. As an essential sub-category of our airframe build hardware, lamination film (often referred to as iron-on covering) is a must-have upgrade for FPV flying wings, combat foamies, slope soarers, and scratch-built models.

Applying a high-quality laminate over raw foam transforms a flexible, porous airframe into a rigid, aerodynamic, and highly crash-resistant machine.

• Extreme Durability: Shield leading edges, wing bellies, and fuselages from hangar rash, rough landings, abrasive brush, and impact damage.

• Structural Rigidity: When activated and shrunk with a standard covering iron, the film acts as a tight external exoskeleton. This drastically reduces span-wise wing flex, torsional twist, and control surface flutter at high speeds.

• Aerodynamic Efficiency: Smoothing out the bumpy, textured surface of bare foam minimizes parasitic drag, resulting in higher top speeds, better glide slopes, and improved battery efficiency.

• Tailored Thicknesses: Choose from lightweight 3mil and 5mil films for park flyers and control surfaces, or step up to heavy-duty 7mil and 10mil laminates—including our industry-favorite STRIX Wing Armor—to skin high-speed FPV wings and heavy-lifters.

Whether you are building a fresh kit or fully restoring a battle-scarred favorite, equip your foam RC aircraft with the ultimate protective skin.
