Description
1 Cleaning and Care
1 Painted Surfaces
The entire surface of the airplane is painted with a weatherproof two component paint. Nevertheless,
it is recommended to protect the airplane against moisture and dampness. It is also recommended
not to store the airplane outside for long periods of time.
Dirt, insects, etc. can be removed with water alone and if necessary with a mild detergent. An
automotive paint cleaner can be used for stubborn spots. For best results, clean the airplane after
the day's flying is ended, so that the dirt will not become ingrained.
Oil stains, exhaust stains, etc. on the lower fuselage skin can be removed with a cold detergent.
Before starting, ensure that the detergent does not affect the surface finish. Use commercial
automotive preservatives without silicone additives to conserve the paint finish.
The airplane must be kept clean. The bright surface prevents the structure from overheating.
Excessive dirt deteriorates the flight performance.
2 Front and Rear Door
The windscreen and all windows should be cleaned with 'Plexiklar' or any other acrylic glass
detergent if available; otherwise use lukewarm water. Final cleaning should be carried out with a
clean piece of chamois leather or soft cloth. Never rub or polish dry acrylic glass.
3 Propeller
Damage and malfunctions during operation must be inspected by authorized personnel.
3.1 Propeller Surface
The manufacturer uses PU paint or acrylic paint which is resistant to almost any solvent. The
blades may be treated with commercial automotive cleaning agents or preservatives. The
penetration of moisture into the wooden core must be avoided by all means. Should doubts
arise, an appropriately rated inspector must be consulted.
4 Engine
Engine cleaning is part of the scheduled inspections.
5 Interior Surfaces
The interior should be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner. All loose items (pens, bags etc.) should be
removed or properly stored and secured.
All instruments can be cleaned using a soft dry cloth. Plastic surfaces should be wiped clean using
a damp cloth without any cleaning agents.
The leather interior should be treated with leather sealer within 3 months since new, and then at
intervals of 3 to 6 months. Clean the leather interior with an appropriate mild leather cleaning agent
and a soft cleaning brush for leather.
Note that the acrylic glass windows transmit the ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
