Figure 17: Empennage design
Non-supporting glass fibre/carbon fibre elements, partially in sandwich design, are
used for the fuselage shell and the skin.
The covering is made of a UV-stabilised webbed fabric (brand name: Tedlar®).
The polycarbonate Makrolon® is used for the glazing. Makrolon® is a high-tech
polycarbonate (not plexiglass) which is characterised by its resistance to weather,
heat and cold, its impact strength and its light weight. However, the material is
particularly susceptible to solvents and petrol.
Beginning with the production date 04/2008, a special, impact resistant plexiglass
has been available as an option. This special plexiglass is characterised by a better
buffability and its resistance to petrol and oil.
