Straightness 

Inspect  tubing  for  bending  using  a  perfectly  flat  surface.  The  following  table  gives  the 
maximum admissible bending per meter: 

Max Bending Admissible/Meter 

Tubes 

Tolerance 

Keel 

2 mm 

Front leading edge 

5 mm 

Crossbar 

3 mm 

Rear leading edge 

4 mm 

A-frame struts 

2 mm 

Kingpost 

2 mm  

Control bar 

+/- 4 mm on total length (1350 mm) 

Replacement 

Aluminum tubing comes in many different sizes and grades. As sections of the airframe 
are  manufactured  from  tubing  made  specifically  to  Air  Creation  specification,  it  is 
mandatory that only genuine replacement parts, supplied by Air Creation are used. 

  Never attempt to repair tubing. Always replace with a genuine new part. 

5.3.2 

Bolts 

All airframe bolts are High Tensile Bolts. If it is necessary to replace any bolts or nuts it 
is important that the specifications of the original bolt are matched when a replacement is 
selected. 

  Never replace bolts with any other size or grade. The length of the bolt is important. 

If  a  shorter  bolt  is  used  the  thread  may  encroach  on  the  load  bearing  area,  which 
increases the stress. 

Installation & Removal 

 

After tightening, all bolts should have at least 1 to 2 threads showing. 

 

All Nylstop nuts should not be installed more than once. 

 

Be sure not to over-torque bolts when installing. 

 

Check assembly instructions for correct bolt placement. 

Inspection 

 

Check bolts for worn shanks, bad threads or corrosion. 

5.3.3 

Cables & Terminals 

Wire Inspection 

When  necessary,  pull  protective  covers  back  to  expose  cable  nearest  to  the  Nicopress 
sleeve. It may be necessary to slide the red PVC coating back to see the cable next to the 
sleeve.
