Exec 162F Maintenance Manual
11
Section 3: Body
The body of the EXEC 162F helicopter consists of several separate panels that when assembled make up a solid egg
shape structure. This provides for a very efficient and aerodynamic airflow. Each panel is made using the hand lay-up
squeeze method to give the piece the maximum strength to weight ratio. A gel coat is applied to the mold prior to the
fiberglass lay-up so that the parts are ready for light sanding and paint.
Reference print: E32-2000
SERVICE NOTES:
1. Care of the body panels is very minimum. However, two factors which may damage them are heat and prolonged
exposure to gas and oil from lack of cleaning. When doing pre- and post-flight inspections, avoid exposing any
removed panels to excess heat or direct sunlight. Stand the panels upright and avoid placing them in an abnormal
position. Prolonged exposure to excessive heat or sunlight in an abnormal position could result in a deformed panel.
Fiberglass is resistant to most chemicals; however, panels that are exposed to gas and oil over long periods of time
will eventually be weakened. Wipe off oil and gas with a dry cloth. Then clean off any remaining residue using a cloth
moistened with acetone. Use CAUTION when working with acetone because of its high flammability.
Check to make sure that all metal parts protruding through the fiberglass have a minimum of 1/4" clearance. If the
clearance requires enlarging, this process can be done by using a round or flat file or an air or electric grinder.
2. Care and cleaning of Plexiglass parts:
A. Cleaning: A mild soap and water solution on a cloth can be used to remove dirt and fingerprints. A plastic cleaner
such as Meguiar’s #2 can be used to remove overspray and oxidation and #9 should be used to preserve and
protect the windscreen and to bring up a high gloss.
