Cleaning off bugs

[Rex Havis]

This may be old information for most of you, but I was out cleaning the bugs off of my aircraft, that had been there for at least a month. Remembering how hard it use to be before I learned to use WINDEX I thought I would post the information for anyone who did not know. All that is required is to spray the leading edge with the Windex. By the time you have sprayed both wings, you can go back with a wet rag and simply wipe off the bugs. I have only used Windex on metal and fiberglass, but I cannot see where it will harm the paint on fabric. I do not let the windex get on the plastic windshield. Hope this helps someone. Rex

I do the same thing on my wood prop. Works great! Larry

Re: Cleaning off bugs

Once all the bugs are off I hit all the leading edge surfaces with Pledge. Makes bug removal later really easy.... as easy and swiping them clean with a slightly damp rag.
