Maintenance/Inspection
Composite Structure
The Velocity is painted with a white acrylic enamel. UV Barrier
is used (primer) to protect the epoxy and foams from deteriora-
tion. Do not expose unprotected fiberglass to sunlight for extend-
ed periods. Unpainted areas should be retouched.The high surface
durability and high safety margins designed into the Velocity make
it highly resistant to damage or fatigue. If the structure is damaged,
it will show up as a crack in the paint.The strain characteristics of
the material are such that it cannot fail internally without first fail-
Check oil pressure
