WINDSHIELD AND WINDOWS
The windshield and windows are made from lexan. Do not bring in contact with fuel.
Fuel will harm these surfaces almost immediately. If fuel is spilled accidentally wipe
off with lots of water.
Always close the doors when you refuel the AC. Otherwise it is possible, that spelled
fuel runs around the wing trailing edge and drops on the open door.
Clean the windshield with plenty of water and if you need to, with a mild detergent in low
concentration. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean soft cloth or tow.
We recommend “Brillianize” for windshield care. Brillianize is available through the
factory.
Note:
Never use gasoline, benzine, alcohol, acetone, thinner or glass cleaner on lexan
surfaces (windows).
PAINTED SURFACES
The painted exterior surfaces of your S-7LS aircraft have a durable and long lasting
finish.
No polishing of buffing will be required under normal conditions.
It is recommended to keep your aircraft out of the sun as much as possible.
If you keep your aircraft outside it is recommended to wax the exterior surface.
It is also recommended to clean the exterior surface of your airplane on a regularly base.
This can also be accomplished with “Brillianize”. It is possible to wash the airplane
carefully with water and a mild soap, followed by a rinse with water and drying with
clothes.
INTERIOR CARE
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and loose dirt from the interior and upholstery.
Household spot removers or upholstery cleaner may also be used for the seat
upholstery. Always test it on an obscure place on the fabric to be cleaned.
The plastic baggage enclosure can be cleaned with a damp cloth and an automotive
plastic interior care.
The instrument panel, control knobs need only be wiped of with a damp cloth.
