Manoeuvring on the Ground, Road Transport
When transporting or moving the gyrocopter, the control stick should always be immobilized
with a turnbuckle.
For road transport (on a trailer, in a container), detach the rotor (see subsection 3.1.2) and fix
the gyrocopter to the base by the undercarriage legs.
Moving the gyrocopter on the ground should be performed with great caution by using a
forked drawbar, grappled by the front wheel axle or a rope grappled by the front leg.
When parking with the rotor fitted, tie the rotor to the fuselage by means of turnbuckles with
pockets fitted on the blade tips or by using two tapes.
9.2
Cleaning and Maintenance
The outside surfaces of the fuselage, rotor and propeller must be washed with water with an
addition of mild soap. Hard-to-wash stains of lubricant or oil can be removed by means of a piece
of cloth wetted with heavy aliphatic petrol.
For seasoned painted surfaces, you can use any high-grade waxes or an abrasive compound
of the automotive type. Soft fabrics or suede must be used for polishing.
The glazing is to be rinsed with clean water or a water solution with an addition of mild soap
and next wiped up with clean soft fabric, sponge or suede. Exercise great caution with it to avoid
scratches.
CAUTION:
To clean the glazing do not apply agents containing alcohol!
The cockpit interior, chairs, rugs and upholstery should be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. It
is recommended to apply commercially available cleaning agents for car upholstery, however, the
guidelines located on the wrapping must by strictly observed.
Clean the engine in accordance with the Engine Manual.
9.3
Repairs and Modifications
All repairs and modifications in the structure can be conducted only by authorized personnel
and in an agreement with the gyrocopter manufacturer.
CAUTION:
Before performing any modification of the gyrocopter,
contact the aviation authority to make sure the planned modification
will not undermine gyrocopter airworthiness.
On performing a repair or modification, weigh the empty gyrocopter and specify the position
of its centre of gravity as well as record the data in the table in subsection 6.4 of the Flight Manual.
