If your wing is wet from contact with salt water, immerse it in fresh water
and dry it away from direct sunlight.
7.2 STORAGE

or oils.
Do not leave the gear inside a car boot, as cars left in the sun can become

It is very important to pack the wing correctly before storage.
In case of long-term storage it is advisable, if possible, that the wing is
not compressed and it should be stored loosely without direct contact
with the ground. Humidity and heating can have an adverse effect on the
equipment.
7.3 CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS
Inspections
In accordance with its certification, the KODE P must be periodically
serviced. An inspection must be scheduled every 100 flying hours or
every two years, whichever comes first.
We strongly recommend that any repairs should be done in a specialist
repair shop by qualified personnel.
This will guarantee the airworthiness and continued certification of your
KODE P.
A thorough pre-flight check must be performed before every flight.
Checking unsheathed lines
The KODE P is fitted with unsheathed lines whose durability is within the
standards of unsheathed lines. Their strength is guaranteed and their
resistance to UV is one of the highest in this type of lines.
7.4 REPAIRS
If the case of small tears, you can temporarily repair these by using the
tape included in the repair kit, as long as no stitching is required to mend

personnel.
Damaged lines must be repaired or exchanged immediately.
Please refer to the line plan at the end of this manual.
