The manual states that ... For part number reference your Kadet Senior ARF was covered in Oracover film with the following part numbers: #10 White and #21-29 Transparent Red or #21-59 Transparent Blue.

So it looks like your part numnbers match up with what I have wich is the Ultracote covering, thanks!!! I'm sure this thread will help out others.

HANU870 Ultracote,White 1.00
HANU954 Ultracote,Transparent Blu 1.00

Thanks again!
I'm reviving this thread because I have a Kadet Sr. ARF that has been abused and miss-treated. It will fly with more things wrong than you can imagine. Well, I decided to fix it up and show some respect for the neglect. I ordered the HANU954 covering material as the replacement for the transparent blue. All of the Ultracote I have used previously had backing material on the film. This did not. I live 30 miles from Horizon Hobby. I ordered the replacement covering material on Aug 07, and received it on Aug 19. It traveled from Champaign, IL to Des Moines Iowa and then to Clinton IL. I have set my covering iron on every setting from the recommended 220 deg F to 180 deg F on the low end, and to 300 deg F (measured with a digital infrared thermometer), and I can't make the material adhere to the balsa framework. I have never had that problem before. I used two different covering irons and a trim iron. It looks like there is no glue on the covering. What am I doing wrong?
