8.5.2 Canopy
Since acrylic glass can be easily scratched, the same principles apply as for cleaning painted
surfaces. The canopy should be cleaned using plenty of water, a soft clean sponge and
chamois leather.
Special, commercially available, acrylic glass cleaners can be used to tackle stubborn
contamination and dirt.
Never use solvents or thinner to clean the canopy glass
.
Minor scratches may be polished using special acrylic glass polishing pastes that are
commercially available. Always follow the manufacturer’s instruction to ensure the desired
results.
The inside of the canopy may be treated in the same way.
8.5.3 Propeller
Refer to current issue of the Operating and Installation Manual, E-124, from mt-propeller.
8.5.4 Engine
Refer to current issue of the Operator’s Manual for the ROTAX
®
912s series engine.
8.5.5 Interior Cleaning
Dust and dirt in the interior of the aircraft should be removed using a vacuum cleaner. Prior to
cleaning, loose objects and foreign objects should be removed or properly stowed.
The floor carpets may be removed for cleaning. They can be cleaned in the same manner as
house-hold carpets or they may be professionally cleaned.
Use a lint-free, moist cloth to clean plastic surfaces such as the instrument panel cover.
The instruments may be cleaned with a dry and soft cloth.
