Tail To Wind Park
Park the trike at 180 Deg to the wind direction (Propeller towards the wind) and set the brake lock on.
Attach the base bar to the front mast pole, and secure with the bungee (Same method as above,
except at the centre). This method causes the wind to flow over the back of the wing. This method is
only recommended for very short periods of time, and in constant (and light) wind conditions.
Figure 15 Parking Trike Tail to the Wind
10.20.00 Mooring
A trike should not be left in the open in fully set up condition for any extended period of time. Consult
the pilots handbook for instructions on disassembly, pack up and or hangarage.
Additionally if the trike is to be prepared for transport the pilot handbook section 9.3 should be
consulted for the correct preparation and mooring procedures for trailers and transportation.
10.30.00 Long term Hangarage
Long term hangarage will require the supplied air filter covers to be put in place to prevent foreign
objects contaminating the air intake area. Full covers for the base are advisable, which are available as
after market items from Airborne. The Rotax manual should be consulted for long term storage
practices for the engine.
CAUTION
THIS METHOD SHOULD ONLY BE USED WHEN THERE IS LITTLE OR NO WIND. BE AWARE
THAT WIND DIRECTION AND SPEED MAY CHANGE RAPIDLY.
