    Airframe Notes
    This airplane has been maintained every 25 hours from a full time mechanic. The oil filter is always checked and replaced at 50 hours. The damage history consists of one off field landing. The old Rotax was equipped with a Tanis heater. The Tanis temperature probe was placed inside a bolt which held on the number 2 cylinder cover. The hollow bolt split and the cylinder cover was loosened. This resulted in all of teh oil departing the airplane. The aircraft was landed in a groomed / plowed field with no damage to the frame at all. The engine was replaced by Rotax without a Tanis heater. This is not an overhauled engine, it is brand new from the factory. Just after the landing, the aircraft went into annual and the factory required 6000 hour airframe inspection. All control service bushings were replaced, along with all old hardware. This airplane has been carefully cared for.
