will have unknown and possibly severe consequences for the
airworthiness of the A5 and therefore is prohibited.
8.2.2 TOWING
The A5 has no provisions for towing with a tow-bar or tug. The
aircraft is very easily maneuvered on the ground by hand. The full
castering nose wheel makes maneuvering simple. The
recommended method for pushing or pulling the A5 is through use
of the handle on the bow (nose). The nose of the aircraft is very
sturdy and can be readily used for pushing, pulling, or turning on the
ground.
CAUTION
: The handles built into the wing tips are to be
used for wing folding only. They must not be
used for ground handling purposes or
pushing/pulling the entire aircraft.
WARNING
: This aircraft should not be used for towing,
including but not limited to glider towing,
banner towing, target towing or towing elec-
trical receivers or emitters.
