flying equipment in a cool, dry place away from solvents, fuels or oils. It
is not advisable to store your flying equipment in the trunk of your car.
Temperatures inside a car parked in the sunlight, can be very high. Inside
a rucksack and in the sunlight temperatures can reach 60ºC. Weight

8.3 CHECKS AND CONTROLS
You should ensure that your KOUGAR 2 is periodically serviced and

months (whichever happens first). This will guarantee that your KOUGAR
2 will continue to function properly and therefore continue fulfilling the
homologation certificate results.
