10. CORROSION PROTECTION
During manufacturing all of the components have been protected with powder coat paint or
anodized.
Any time when the components are removed or inspected the opportunity should be taken to
inspect them for corrosion. If the aircraft is operated in coastal areas or ever been exposed to salt
water you will need to clean all the components with the fresh water regularly and perform a
careful check of all components for corrosion.
11. INSPECTION AND SERVICING SCHEDULES
All major repairs and spare part replacement must be done by authorized service personnel.
However, you are encouraged to take care of preventative maintenance yourself. This includes:
tire and wheel bearings replacements, safety wire replacement, safety harness replacement, light
bulb replacement, fuel hose replacement, battery servicing and replacement, spark plugs
replacement and air filter replacement.
The table bellow indicates recommended maintenance periods.
