Second Work Session - Vacuum and Remove Front Wing (11/11/2025)

    On 11 November, we returned to the hangar for our second work session with the Microlight Canard. After leaving the aircraft idle for several days, we noticed a thin layer of dust had settled on its surface. Before beginning any technical work, we took a duster and carefully wiped down the entire plane to ensure it was clean and ready for inspection. This simple step helped us maintain the aircraft’s condition and prepared us for the tasks planned for the day.

      

After we finished wiping off the dust from the exterior, we approached En. Zihad to request a vacuum cleaner. The interior of the plane had accumulated quite a bit of dirt and debris, and wiping alone wouldn’t be enough to clean it properly. Using the vacuum was necessary to remove the dust trapped inside the cockpit. 

This is inside our plane

En. Zihad handed us the vacuum and reminded us to wear face masks for safety. He explained that the dirt inside the cockpit had been there for a long time, and breathing it in could potentially make us sick. Once we vacuum inside, we immediately understood why En. Zihad reminded us to wear the mask because the smell from the accumulated dust and old debris was quite unpleasant. After several minutes of carefully vacuuming every corner of the cockpit, we finally managed to remove most of the dirt. 

            

After we finished our vacuuming session, En. Zihad instructed us to remove the front wing of the plane in preparation for our next session. Following his instructions, we gathered the necessary tools and began inspecting the wing area closely. We took our time to identify the exact location of the nuts and bolts that needed to be removed to safely detach the front wing. This careful examination was important to ensure that the dismantling process would be carried out correctly and without causing any damage to the aircraft.
