Introduction
Gyroplane N255EE (“Aircraft”) is a unique example of
a Tango 2 gyroplane. It has been custom built from a
first-generation frame and body and has prototype
features not found in other Tango gyroplanes.
Some of these modifications change the standard
operating procedures and may change the aircraft’s
performance. It is, therefore, important to read this
handbook with special attention to the sections on
preflight, postflight and all operating processes.
Safety Notice
The Aircraft is Experimental Amateur-built and carries
the posted notice:
“THIS AIRCRAFT IS AMATEUR-BUILT AND DOES NOT
COMPLY WITH FEDERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR
STANDARD AIRCRAFT.”
The Aircraft has been inspected and issued an
Airworthiness Certificate. It shall be operated as an
Experimental Aircraft in Phase I, followed by Phase II
testing for the purposes of education and recreation
only.
Disclaimer
Use of this manual constitutes an agreement by the
user to hold harmless the builder, operators and
owners of the Aircraft from all actions which may
result from errors or omissions in this manual.
