I recently purchased the NexStar Select after flying a 3 channel electric for 2 months.

Questions: 1. Is it normal for the covering on a new Nexstar Select to be wrinkled on the wings and fuselage? 2. Will this change the flight characteristics of the plane (alierons have big bubble in covering)? 3. This is my first gas trainer and I want to spend time on the sim before going to a field, will storing this plane assembled in a shed with temps ranging from 10c to 70c harm it while I get in sim time (2 to 3 months storage in shed)? 4. Should I return the plane before assembly because of the covering?

It's perfectly OK to have some wrinkles in the covering.. Just take a heat gun (Hairdryer works) and shrink them out..

Thanks. Got any recommendations on storing a plane in a none heated or cooled area.

CSHANNON, the cold won't hurt your planes but you may get a few more wrinkles in them. I store my planes in the garage (detached) and there are usually 3 or 4 in my trailer all year long. I have never had a problem with it. One thing I have noticed though. The planes that are covered with Monokote tend to wrinkle in the winter time but the wrinkles come back out when the weather warms up. If I shrink 'em tight in the winter, when summer comes the covering gets tighter and the surfaces warp. I learned that the hard way so I just live with the wrinkles now. Ultracote is not as bad.
