5.1.2 Damage to the seams
The seams of the C42 covering are made of synthetic fibres. If individual threads
protrude, they can be melted with a soldering iron. Be careful not to damage the
covering. The affected position can then be patched.
If the damage is greater (> 1 cm) an IFC / ISC or COMCO IKARUS GmbH must be
contacted.
5.1.3 Thermal tensioning of the covering
If fabric tension is reduced and/or the fabric is wrinkled, buckled or showing similar
signs of slackness, the covering can be tensioned to a certain degree by applying
heat. In this way the original tension can be restored. The process can be repeated
as often as required.
The necessary heat may be produced by an industrial heat gun or a radiator. A
certain degree of experience and skill is, however, required and special care must be
taken. If too much heat is applied, bubbles can form and the material can break
and/or burn. We, therefore, recommend that you contact an IFC / ISC or COMCO
IKARUS GmbH directly, if such repair work is required.
5.2 Repairing the aircraft structure
Repair work is limited to the exchanging of parts. Only original spare parts may be
used. These are available from the IFC / ISC or from COMCO IKARUS GmbH.
No structural repairs can take place without the direct authorization of the IFC / ISC
or from COMCO IKARUS GmbH
All structural repairs must be completed using only with new parts obtained only from
the manufacturer. Do not use pattern parts.
Never straighten bent tubes or bracket assemblies, replace with new parts only.
Never re-weld any parts.
Any defects must be reported to the IFC / ISC or from COMCO IKARUS GmbH.
