ust like you, once in a while your Kiowa Warrior needs a bath. But wash it with
care. Water runoff from the engine deck can get into the avionics bay and short out
the remote control circuit breaker (RCCB) inverter and relays.
So before you bathe your bird,
tape over the holes in the top of the
cover assembly with duct tape, NSN
When the RCCB goes, power to
the mast-mounted sight is knocked
out. It won’t be able to search for tar-
gets or get a fix on forward positions
when you power up your aircraft.
Other electrical relays are in harm’s
way, too, if not protected from water.
Water is needed to give your bird a good cleaning. But too much of a good thing
can wreak havoc on electrical and avionic components. So cover those holes before
you wash.

water happy, look
