Transport & Storage
Avoid damage to your wing by using well padded racks. Careless transportation can cause considerable
damage to your wing.
We recommend that you support the wing in at least 3 places or to use a ladder to spread the load. Flat straps
should be used for tie downs to avoid damage to leading edge Mylar.
Store the wing in a dry room off the ground. Air the wing out regularly to avoid mildew, and never store
wet.
Inspections & General Maintenance
This section sets forth each mandatory replacement time, structural inspection interval, and related structural
inspection procedure required.
The time limits and maintenance schedule provided are in addition to any regulation of the governing body
where the aircraft is flown.
The pilot of the aircraft must ensure that the required maintenance is carried out and documented in the
correct manner.
Lifespans
Extreme operating conditions and any extreme loads will reduce the time limits for components and the
fatigue life of the airframe. The fatigue life of these components is dependent upon rigid adherence to
maintenance schedules.
Air Creation will from time to time amend these maintenance checks as the service history of the aircraft
evolves. It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure compliance with new directives. (Information is
available on the website
The following components are time limited and should be overhauled or replaced as indicated. This table
may be updated to include more components in the future as airworthiness directives are amended.
