3. MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

A. INSPECTION OF FABRIC
The polyester fabric used on the CC18-180 is very durable and its longevity depends on
maintaining the coating in good shape. Ultraviolet radiation (in other words, direct sunlight)
is the main cause of deterioration of the fabric. The fabric is treated at the factory to protect
it from this type of radiation.
The fabric covering on the CC18-180 meets the requirements of TSO C-15d/AMS which
stipulate that the minimum breaking strength of the fabric should be at least 56 lbs. Testing
fabric requires skill and experience and should only be performed by a qualified person who
has experience in this matter.
The CC-18-180 has been covered using a process that is proprietary to Cub Crafters. It is
similar to the Poly-Fiber Aircraft coating, more commonly referred to as the Stits method.
