OPTION DOORS ON X-AIR F
The kit is composed of the following elements:
•
2 doors
•
the higher panel in Lexan
•
the triangle in Lexan for the top of the windshield
•
the set of fixings and small metal parts
•
two tubes aluminum dia. 12 mm
The 2 legs are fixed on the bolts of the rear roll bar (n°140) and are con-
nected to the arch by the 2 fixed tubes of dia. 12, when in place, put a rivet
in each end.
1. The metal arch is fixed on the top of the
front roll bar (n°139) by means of 2 strong
cables ties figure.
Fit the Lexan roof
panel onto the top of
the framework using
the cable ties.
2. Fit the triangle complement to avoid air
rushing into the cockpit, position centrally on
the inside of the windshield and fix with 4
mm diameter bolts-spaced approximately 12
cm apart, to ensure a good fit
3. Set up the first door and drill the 3 holes of 6 mm
in the higher panel corresponding to the correct posi-
tion of the door. Before boring, be sure that there is a
space from 3 to 5 mm between the door and the
windshield frame to avoid any conflict in operation.
the door must be fitted a little towards the interior of
the cockpit to avoid scooping in outside air when
closed.
4.Once the door is fixed and aligned cor-
rectly in the closed position it is now time to
fit the door securing tabs. The upper support
is made from aluminium and is squeezed
between the lexan windscreen and the metal
frame on the upper part of the first bend,
play with the position a little bit to ensure
the best fit. When satisfied with the location,
drill 2 holes and rivet the tab to the lexan
part of the windshield .
5. Now fit the open door sup-
porting tube and its velcro.
6. The final step is the fitting of the steel plate with
the welded axle.
The knob in this axle points inwards and allows for
locking of the door through a corresponding hole
drilled into the door to match the knob.
Loosing a door in flight could cause tragic dam-
ages, so it is vitally important to check before each
flight:
" CLOSED DOORS AND LOCKED "
