10. PARKING AND MOORING
10.00.00 General
This chapter provides information concerning the correct procedures for parking, securing, storage and
transport of the aircraft, without packing the trike up. If any maintenance is to be performed on the trike
base it is recommended that the wing is removed. For Derigging and storage see sections 9.2 and 9.3
of the pilots handbook.
10.10.00 Parking
Wing Down Park
Park the trike at 90 Deg to the anticipated wind direction and set the brake lock on. The wing tip should
then be placed onto the ground on the side of the prevailing wind. The bungee cord and fastener are
then used to secure the base bar to the front mast pole. This method of parking the aircraft allows the
wind to flow spanwise across and over the wing. For other situations such as strong winds, pack up and
hangaring, consult the pilots handbook.

NOTE
The wing tip may be pinned to the ground using a peg such as a tent peg. This will stop the wing from
shifting.
