Page 11: Corrosion Protection
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. - Page 12 RADIATOR: Drain and flush the Service radiator. Every 200hours Engine Pre- First Every Every Every Other See Rotax engine manual for detailed flight engine maintenance information hours hours hours hours In addition to Rotax manual: PLUGS (912): See Rotax manual for check Replace instructions...
- Page 13 PYLON TUBE: Check all bolts for check security, check plates for distortion. BASE TUBE: Check for cracks and check bends (also after every hard landing) especially in the region of the front fork due to heavy landing. Any damage require replacement. FRONT STRUT: check for cracks and check bends (also after every hard landing).
- Page 14 been replaced with new parts, no further obligatory replacement after 500 hours (3000 landings) is required. Wing First Every Every Annually Other flight /100 hrs SAIL: Visually check wing sail. There check check should be no cuts, ruptures, threadbare holes and torn stitching on the sail. BATTENS: Check profiles and ensure check they match with the template.
- Page 15 More recently laminated sailcloth has been used for top surfaces of modern sails. Laminated sailcloth which is in use for Aeros trike wings comes in layers of film with high-strength strands integrated between them. Although, it is stronger and more durable than the Dacron sailcloth, laminated sailcloth can still be degraded by sunlight.
