8.16 Road Transport
If road transport cannot be avoided, transport with minimum fuel, which reduces airframe
loads and prevents fuel spilling through vent pipes.
Tie-down the fuselage using the following procedure:
Restrain main wheels (blocks/chocks)
Put a wooden block below the lowest point of the keel tube and lash keel tube
against wooden block. The block should be dimensioned so that the main wheels
are half way unloaded
Lash down both main wheels through the lashing lugs (use rims/axles
alternatively)
Lash down nose wheel through the axle
For container transport or shipping, use the mast tie-down kit (option)
Furthermore, it is recommended to protect the gyroplane against external exposure.
Especially the rotor blades need to be packed carefully, as even the smallest damages may
require the replacement of the complete system.
WARNING
The rotor system must be removed and disassembled for road transport. When
handled incorrectly the rotor system can be damaged irreparably. If undetected
this may have catastrophic consequences.
CAUTION
When wrapping make sure that the bubble or stretch wrap does not cover the
painted surface directly. Put a soft layer in between for damage protection and
let plastic components breathe. Do not expose wrapped gyroplane or parts to
sun radiation or heat in order to avoid paint damage.
8.17 Repairs
IMPORTANT NOTE
Repairs may only be executed by CAA or LAA authorised persons (if operated
under an LAA managed permit to fly), and in strict compliance with
maintenance and repair instructions.
