Ground handling / Road transport
8.4.1 Towing
It is easy to tow the aircraft a short distance by holding the prop
blade at the root since the empty weight of this aeroplane is
relatively low.
Suitable surfaces to hold the aeroplane airframe are the rear part of
the fuselage before the fin and wing roots.
A tow bar may be used to tow the aeroplane a long distance.
CAUTION
Avoid excessive pressure at the aeroplane airframe - especially at
the wing tips, elevator, rudder, trim etc.
CAUTION
Handle the propeller by holding the blade root - never blade tip! If
starting the engine manually - always handle the propeller on a blade
surface i.e. do not hold only an edge.
8.4.2 Parking
It is advisable to park the aeroplane inside a hangar or alternatively
inside any other proof space (garage) with stable temperature, good
ventilation, low humidity and dust-free environment.
It is necessary to moor the aeroplane when it is parked outside a
hangar. Also when parking for a long time, cover the cockpit canopy,
possibly the whole aeroplane by means of a suitable tarpaulin.
