15 Care and maintenance
1. Care and cleaning
All metal parts are corrosion-resistant and require no special care.
Dirt on the aircraft and the fabric can be removed by using clear water.
Repair of the wing fabric: repair even the smallest rips for your personal
safety. A wing fabric repair kit is available from the manufacturer. It is to be
applied to a clean, grease-free area by means of contact adhesive. Larger
rips in the fabric or along the seams in any case must be repaired by the
covering specialists. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer.
Be especially careful in the maintenance and cleaning of the cabin glazing!
It is highly recommended to abundantly use clear water with a little detergent
for softening and rinsing of contamination. For drying, a fine microfiber cloth
should be used which is solely used for this purpose. By no means
solvent - based or acid - based detergents may be used.
2. All maintenance works
Must be carried out by appropriately qualified persons.
3. Especially Repair works and major changes
Must be reported and officially inspected.
4. Airworthiness inspections
In Germany must be carried out by the manufacturer or by DAeC
inspectors. In other countries different regulations may apply.
5. Repair works
Repairs by the owner are limited to the exchange of defective parts.
Only original spare parts may be used.
In no case shall any part be reprocessed, straightened or otherwise
processed for repair and re-installation.
