Flight Techniques
Taxiing:
Avoid turning sharply as this generates large amounts of torque and hence wear,
transmitted to the pylon, hang point and keel. Always try to keep the wing aligned with
the trike when turning by bracing the control bar. Turning circle is very small, but
beware – wing tips and tip fins stick out and can move around their arc very fast!
Take-off and landing techniques:
Take-off is conventional. Keep the aircraft straight using the nose wheel steering. Allow
the bar to float in the neutral position in pitch and keep the wings level. Let the control
bar move forwards to obtain takeoff rotation. As the aircraft rotates, allow the control bar
to move back smoothly and allow airspeed to build.
If taking off in calm conditions or from a soft field or from a field with long grass, the
minimum take-off roll distance is reached by increasing rpm to full power with brake,
then releasing the brake and pushing the control bar fully forward. The control bar should
be brought backwards immediately once the wheels are in the air to obtain a climbing
speed ranging from 75 km/h to 80 km/h (47 mph to 50 mph) according to the load. If a
performance take-off is not required then once the aircraft has rotated allow the bar to
move back smoothly, adopt a shallow climb attitude and allow the airspeed to build to a
safer low-level climbing speed of around 85 km/h (53 mph).
