TAKING DOWN AND TRANSPORT
Preparing the aircraft for transport on a trailer or for off airport storage is a
simple operation that needs two people and about 1/2 an hour.
It’s recommended to proceed as follows:
To avoid losing the parts removed, re-fit immediately the screws, nuts, pins
and rings back into their own parts immediately on removal.
-Disconnect ailerons control tubes in the cockpit.
-Disconnect flaps control tubes from their horns.
-Each wing strut and jury strut has its own place, so mark them for easy as-
sembly.
-Remove the jury struts from the wings struts.
In case of a ventimeter sender on the wing strut, disconnect the ventimeter
hose from the instrument and roll it on the wing strut.
-One person hold up the wing at its tip. It will help if they lightly move or
twist the wing, following the suggestions of his partner to make the pins
removal easier.
Disconnect the rear wing strut from the trailing edge and put it on the
ground.
Disconnect the front wing strut from the leading edge and put it on the
ground.
Disconnect the leading edge.
Disconnect the trailing edge.
Remove the wing.
Disconnect the wing struts from the cockpit base.
-Proceed the same way for the second wing.
In some countries, it’s necessary to remove the stabiliser, to reduce the width, according to the
road regulations:
-Disconnect the tips of the elevator fork from their control levers on the elevator assembly.
-Remove the rings that secure the lower stab cables under the fuselage.
-Screw the bolt that fit the upper stabiliser cables in the fin leading edge to have enough lack in
these cables to remove them.
-Remove the two half-stabiliser.
In the case of transport on a trailer, it is very important to protect with foam all the parts of the
aircraft that are in contact with other parts of the aircraft or in contact with the trailer, most dam-
age to aircraft is done on due to travelling vibrations and accidents.
Fit the cables to avoid loss. Immobilize the rudder.
Don’t forget to check the load a last time before leaving.
To assemble, proceed in the reverse order, use new nuts, control the path of the cables in their
pulleys and don’t forget to make the check list before flying.
