8 Aircraft Ground Handling and Servicing<br />

8.17 Exhaust System Servicing<br />

The REMOS exhaust system used<br />

on the REMOS GX is manufactured<br />

from stainless steel. To provide<br />

suitable cabin temperature,<br />

especially in cold climates, a cabin<br />

heating system is included. The<br />

muffler is held in place by eight wire<br />

springs at the connection to the<br />

down-pipes. These springs are<br />

sealed with heat resistant silicon to<br />

protect them from cracking. When<br />

reassembling the exhaust system,<br />

great care has to be taken, to<br />

ensure no part of the exhaust<br />

system tou<strong>ch</strong>es other components<br />

in the engine compartment. No welding should be done to the<br />

muffler/cabin heater, if any cracks are visible; the muffler has to be<br />

ex<strong>ch</strong>anged! The exhaust system needs no servicing between regular<br />

service intervals, but we recommend to <strong>ch</strong>eck for cracks prior to<br />

ea<strong>ch</strong> flight.<br />

8.18 Propeller Servicing<br />

The standard propellers on the REMOS GX are Senseni<strong>ch</strong> and<br />

Neuform. Refer to the propeller manufacturer manuals for servicing<br />

information.<br />

However, we strongly recommend a visual <strong>ch</strong>eck for cracks and<br />

damage prior to ea<strong>ch</strong> flight. Damage to the lacquer finish may disturb<br />

the propeller balance. Therefore it is essential to repair any failure of<br />

the lacquer finish immediately and <strong>ch</strong>eck/accomplish propeller<br />

balancing.<br />
