Handling, Servicing and Maintenance
8.1.
General
Every owner of an FK 14 should maintain regular contact with the
manufacturer for best support.
8.2.
Ground Handling
Aircraft should be parked with the nose facing into the wind and secured by
putting chocks in front of the wheels. There are special lugs which can be
attached to the lower side of each wing to tie down the aircraft, also tie down
the nose- / tailwheel.
The aircraft should not be parked in wet conditions or exposed to UV
radiation for a long period of time.
The canopy should be covered during parking to avoid getting dirty.
The FK 14 can be stored in a trailer. For details consult the manufacturer.
8.3.
Cleaning
A clean surface is very important for aircraft performance. Therefore the
whole aircraft and especially the leading edges of the wings and propeller
blades should be kept as clean as possible.
Cleaning is preferably done by using plenty of water, if required a mild soap
may be added.
Once a year the painted surface should be treated with a silicon-free polish.
8.4.
General Advice
The vibration dampers on the engine mount should be treated
regularly with vaseline to prevent aging.
Fuel lines, cables and bowden-cables must not be damaged.
The flap actuator and drive shaft should be lubricated regularly,
especially after flying in wet conditions.
Note: never turn the propeller for more than 1 turn in opposite
direction
Airplane maintenance must be performed following the
manufacturer’s latest maintenance schedule. The actual
