Note: It is recommended to use soft cotton canopy cover that covers the
entire nose of the sailplane which prevents the blades from opening. If the
canopy cover is not used, use a fitted propeller cover with elastic straps, to
prevent the blades from opening.
On newer FES gliders the blades are held in position by the magnets integrated into
the fuselage.
A fuselage dolly should support the fuselage positioned just forward of the main
landing gear opening. The forward stop must be provided for the fuselage doll to prevent
it from rolling forwards, leaving the fuselage with no support.
8.6 Cleaning and care
Avoid cleaning around the area of the FES motor and battery compartment with
water. Clean the sinner and propeller blades with a wet sponge or soft cotton towel. Tape
adhesives are best removed using pure petroleum spirits or nitro thinner.
