Parking
It is advisable to park the aircraft inside a hangar, or alternatively inside any
other suitable space (garage), with stable temperature, good ventilation,
low humidity and a dust-free environment.
When parking for an extended period, cover the cockpit canopy, and
possibly the whole aircraft, by means of a suitable tarpaulin.

Jacking
Since the empty weight of the aircraft is relatively low, two persons are
usually able to lift the aircraft.
It is possible to lift the aircraft in the following manner:
•
By pushing the fuselage rear section down above a bulkhead, the
fuselage front section may be raised and then supported under the
firewall. The same effect can be achieved by pressing down on the
horizontal stabilizer as described under
Towing
.
•
By lifting the rear fuselage under a bulkhead, the rear fuselage may be
raised and then supported under that bulkhead. The support should
comprise a large, flat surface area to avoid damage to the under-
fuselage skin. The wings should also be gently supported to prevent
the aircraft from rolling.
•
To lift a wing, push from underneath the wing
only
at the main spar
area and again using a support that has a large surface area. Do not lift
up a wing by handling the wing tip.
•
A single wheel can be lifted by jacking carefully under the end of the
wheel strut.
