o
The canopy should be cleaned with a plexiglass cleaner (e.g. "Mirror Glaze",
"Plexiklar" or similar) and only if necessary, with warm water.
The canopy should be wiped down only with soft, clean chamois leather or a
very soft material as used for gloves.
Never rub the canopy when it is dry.
o
The powered sailplane should always be protected from the wet.
If water has found a way in, the components should be stored in a dry
environment and turned frequently to eliminate the water.
o
The powered sailplane should not be exposed unnecessarily to intense sunlight
or heat and should not be subjected to continual loads in a mechanical sense.
Warning:
All external portions of the powered sailplane exposed to sunlight must
be painted white with the exception of the areas for the registration and
anti-collision markings.
Colours other than white can lead to the CFRP/GFRP overheating in
direct sunlight, resulting in an insufficient strength.
