    ALPHA Electro Handling and maintenance REV. 0 Special inspections After having exceeded VNE or landed in a rough manner: Check the undercarriage, fuselage & wing surfaces and main spars for abnormalities. It is highly recommended to have the aircraft verified for airworthiness by authorised service personnel.

  • Page 65: Tie Down

    Ideally, the aircraft should be stored in a hangar. For increased in-hangar maneuvrability use of an original Pipistrel push-cart is recommended. Stuff the battery bay cooling inlets with some foam or a rag to prevent the ingress of dirt, dust, small animals, etc..

  • Page 66: Keeping Your Aircraft In Perfect Shape

    Keeping your aircraft in perfect shape In order for the ALPHA Electro to perform the way it should, all of the airframe’s surfaces must cleaned on a regular basis. This is especially true for the wing’s leading edges, which can seriously af- fect performance if left dirty.
  • Page 67 Cleaning the transparent Lexan surfaces All the of the ALPHA Electro’s window surfaces are made of Lexan. Cleaning Lexan is not the same as cleaning Plexiglas. It is really important to only use clean water (no cleaning solutions are neces- sary) when cleaning and a really clean drying towel.
