A conventional, differential, foot controlled braking system may also be
fitted as an option. In such cases each brake caliper is separately actuated
by way of a master hydraulic brake servo fitted to the rudder pedal on the
side of the aircraft corresponding to the wheel on which the applicable
caliper is located. The parking brake arrangement operates in the same
manner as with the hand actuated system.

front seats can be adjusted backwards and forwards for comfort, with

Ballistic rescue parachute
1.
The Sling 4 is designed specifically for convenient fitment of a
Magnum 901 ballistic parachute recovery system. The system is
designed to enable the pilot or passenger to deploy the parachute in
case of emergency in such a manner that the aircraft structure is
carried under the parachute to the ground, on the basis that the
occupants will not be injured and the aircraft structure suffers
minimal damage.
2.
Use of a ballistic parachute system involves inherent risks and the
system should be properly understood by the pilot prior to use.
WARNING
Prior to each flight, ensure that the seat belts are
firmly secured to the airframe, and that the belts
are not damaged.
