Handling
8.4.6. Road Transport
For transporting the airplane on the road, it is recommended to use an open trailer.
All airplane components must be stored on a cushioned surface and secured to avoid any movement
during transporting.
1.
Fuselage:
The fuselage should be stored on the trailer standing on its wheels. It must be ensured that the
fuselage will not move in forward, backward or upward direction. Furthermore
it
must be ensured that
the propeller has sufficient free space so it cannot be damaged in case the fuselage should move.
2.
Wings:
For transportation, both wings must be removed from the fuselage.
To avoid any damage, the wings are stored in upright position on the leading edge with the root rib
area positioned on an upholstered profiled surface of at least 400 mm (1 ft 3.75 in) width. The outside
wing area (approximately 3m (1 0 ft) from the root rib area) is placed on an upholstered profiled
surface of a minimum of 300 mm (1 1 .81 in) width.
The wings must be secured to avoid any sliding movement to the rear.
3.
Elevator
The elevator is stored flat on the trailer and secured, or in an upright position sitting on the leading
edge on a profiled surface. All storing surfaces must be upholstered with felt or cellular rubber.
