There is no special maintenance schedule for the Whirl Wind 400A
propeller system beyond the usual inspections listed in Section 6 and
the teardown inspection schedule listed below. It is recommended
that the operator apply a high quality paste wax on the blades at
least once a month to aide in protection from the elements - it is
important that the blades are always sealed from outside moisture.
Automotive materials such as Acryluathane paint and Epoxy resin
can be used to repair most small scratches and chips.
