X100 parts
Check the pitot tube
The body of the X100 must be clean. Dirt and gravel on the body will decrease the lift and
increase the drag during flight. Damage to the body might lead to failure as well.
1 Clean the body with water and a soft brush.
C
AUTION: Do not use high water pressure or a steel brush to clean the body.
2 Check the body for cracks and repair them as prescribed by Gatewing. When in doubt,
contact Gatewing or your local dealer.
C
AUTION: Make sure the surface of the body is smooth after repairing the crack.
Changing the shape of the body changes the aerodynamics of the aircraft.
3.7 Check the pitot tube

the total air pressure.
1 Remove the pitot clamp.
2 Remove the pitot tube from the silicon tube in the X100 body.
3 Make sure the tube is not bent or broken.
