Transport
The aircraft may only be transported with wings removed. When transporting over longer distance or in
closed cargo bay of a truck, elevator must be removed. If elevator is not removed, it must be fitted with
red pennants, or accompanying vehicle must be procured.
During the transport, the fuselage must be connected to truck or trailer by landing gear legs and possibly
also by tail bumper. The wings must be anchored using their central-section fittings and wing tip nor
leading edges may contact the floor nor be leaned on anything.
Flap controls must be fixed in position – see section Disassembly. If elevator is transported separately
from the fuselage, it must only be fixed using fuselage fittings and front pins. Entire elevator must be
protected by soft cover and attached to the truck or trailer using wide straps.
