AEROSPOILER INSTALLATION|See how easy it is to Install
For AeroSpoiler Installation Instructions, please view the video or read the step by step instructions below.
The AeroSpoiler
should be installed as shown in the above video to obtain the maximum wind damage prevention gain. If you did not watch the video,
please read the following notes before installing the AeroSpoiler. Install the AeroSpoiler at 25% of the chord line
(see graph on the Wind Test Page for definition of "chord") , and as shown in the video.
The AeroSpoiler must be installed on a clean flat,
smooth, surface to ensure maximum holding power. It may be necessary to use rubbing compound and wax to prepare
the surface on aircraft with
older paint.
Do not install the AeroSpoiler on cloth wings!
Or on rivet lines or areas of the wing that have gaps.
For maximum holding power, wet the surface under
each cup with a damp cloth.
The AeroSpoiler should be installed evenly on each wing.
Install the AeroSpoiler as follows:
Here are the components that form the AereoSpoiler Storm Protection System:
AeroSpoiler Blade Components
Suction Cup Recievers
1)Place the first cup/receiver on the end of the wing. It has a barrier to prevent pushing
the blade all the way through.
Push down and wiggle the cup until you feel it grab the wing surface. Lower the handle to secure
the cup. There should be sufficient
resistance when lowering the handle to ensure the cup is properly secured to the wing surface.
2) Place the first blade into the receiver
assembly that you just secured. 3) Slide the blade assembly into the second cup/receiver assembly
and
secure the cup as instructed in 1) above.
4) Repeat this process until the wing is covered. Some
wings
will require three blades per wing, and others will require four. If your aircraft requires more than
four blades per wing,
please order the extension kit found on the order page.
Caution!
Do not install the AeroSpoiler in temperatures at or below freezing. The cups will be
frozen to the wing surface
and could cause damage to the aircraft wing or the cup assembly. The AeroSpoiler was designed to supplement
any and all aircraft wind
protection devices to include aircraft tie downs and chocks. Use every means available to secure your aircraft during
bad weather or high in-line wind conditions.
The AeroSpoiler was designed as a countermeasure against high wind conditions. Like all hold-down products,
installation of
the AeroSpoiler does not guarantee that your aircraft will not sustain damage caused by heavy high wind
conditions. The System may be used on seaplanes and ski planes to reduce wind damage and lift during high winds, as well.
For more information on securing your aircraft during storm wind conditions read
FAA AMT Safety Guide, Chap. 11, pg 11-9 and on.
