4. Flying the Nynja
4.1 Pre-Flight Inspection and ground handling
4.1.1
Pre flight inspection – Check A, is detailed in the maintenance section.
4.1.2 Ground handling – the Nynja can easily be moved by one or more
persons pushing / pulling on substantial parts of the structure. When
moving forwards the root of a propeller blade close to the hub can be
pulled on. The front wing lift struts can also be pulled on. When
moving backwards the leading edge of the tailplane can be used to
push down on (so nosewheel is lifted and aircraft easily manoeuvred)
and pushed against. Take care not to push on fairings or directly on
fabric areas. Ground towing should not be done without using a system
approved by the manufacturer.
