      Guidelines on how to handle surface damages

      This article describes how to handle damages on the surface of the WingtraOne. You will learn when it is safe to fly and how to fix the damages.

      Cracks on the wing surface

      Cracks and damages on the WingtraOne surface can be of different sizes and in different locations. Usually, small cracks on the wing can be easily covered with duct tape, and flying is still safe. For longer cracks, the location and probability that they spread should be considered. 

      It is highly recommended to send pictures of any damage to Wingtra Support for a proper assessment of the extent of the damage. Wingtra Support will offer the best solution for each case.

      More severe surface damages that do not fall in any of the above categories are not reparable and require replacement of the wing. In this case, you need to reach out either to your distributor or to Wingtra Support (if you have purchased your WingtraOne directly from Wingtra), providing detailed pictures of all the damages.
