•
Treat all exposed metal components (including the engine) on the trike base (only) with a
dewatering compound such as WD40 or CRC spray. This guards against corrosion and makes
cleaning much easier.
•
Lubricate the throttle cables regularly using light machine oil.
•
The cockpit area should have all litter removed to minimise corrosion and to safeguard the
propeller.
Apart from the consequences of heavy landing, or of exceeding flight limitations, the major factors
requiring attention are corrosion, fatigue and wear.
There are no known fatigue problems with Airborne Microlights, but excessive loads and vibration can
weaken the structure. Regular inspection for hair-line cracks in areas under high stress, such as bolt
holes, tube junctions, etc is recommended.
Many components can be replaced with ease, for difficult repairs or if the repair process is not fully
understood consult your Airborne Dealer or the Airborne Factory.
