PREPARING FOR YOUR FIRST FLIGHT
Given that the certification of the TRIKE-FLASH is planned for the GOLD 130 Engine PPG unit, you
have to follow the procedures described in the proper PPG manual before to take off.
WE summarize here the main points.
WARNING! Use common sense when refueling. Do not refuel a hot or running engine, do not smoke
or allow on-lookers to smoke while refueling. Do not refuel near heat or open flame
Pre-flight Inspection
Before your first flight, and before every flight, it is absolutely essential to perform a pre-flight
inspection on your aircraft.
WARNING! Failure to perform a sufficient pre-flight has been a contributing factor to accidents in all
kinds of aircraft. Equipment damage, bodily injury, even death can occur due to equipment problems not
caught in a pre-flight inspection.
As the saying goes, “Pre-flight as if your life depends on it, because it does!”
The essential items to check are:

TRIKE - All the wires well tensioned and tension rods tighten with nuts locked
- Check all the Velcro straps and all blockings.

PARAGLIDER – this PPG was homologated with the SWING “Powerplay Sting140” model
which has a 29,5 m² surface, check the lines and canopy integrity.

ENGINE – check everything is ok , the silent-block integrity and gasoline mixture level.

PROPELLER – blades integrity, bolts clamping.

RECOVERY SYSTEM (if there is) – ready and safety catch off.
NOTE! Example of pre-flight checklists can be found at the end of this manual.
It is highly recommended that you use one of the examples, or create your own, print it out, laminate it,
and use it whenever you fly.
