 I HAVE S/N 1228, N124LM, AND MY PAINT IS BUBBLING UP. THE TOP OF THE WING HAS TINY BUBBLES, COARSE TO THE TOUCH AS YOU RUB YOUR HAND ON THE WING. THE FIBERGLASS WHEEL PANTS HAVE LARGE BUBBLES FROM THE WHITE PAINT, EXPOSING THE GREEN PRIMER WHICH IS NOT BUBBLING UP. THE DORSAL FIBERGLASS FAIRING IS AFFECTED, AS WELL AS THE CABIN TURTLE DECK. I HAVE ONLY USED WOOLITE TO WASH, AND MEGUIAR'S TO POLISH. THE PLANE IS TIED DOWN AT TAMIAMI IN MIAMI. AND YES, I HAVE TO KEEP ON TOP OF CORROSION, A WHOLE 'NOTHER STORY, BUT THIS IS A PAINT PROBLEM. HAS ANYONE OUT THERE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS? |

I have not - I fly an Astore. And welcome to the forum!! You don't indicate where you are located - many of the US owners are in Sebring, FL this weekend for the Light Sport Show and Tecnam Owner's Meeting later today ... if you are in the US, I would just call up Tecnam in Sebring and ask some questions, assuming your plane it out of warranty.

Most folks on this forum with newer planes keep their aircraft hangared, and we have few issues. Occasionally a small imperfection but nothing major. Out in the elements is tough. We all see tie-downs at our local airports with paint issues (and many more issues). I am unaware of any inherent paint issues with the Tecnam. Perhaps there is someone in the forum with a hangared Tecnam who would disagree.

Same here. Paint on ailerons on both side is peeling off.
