a fuel quantity indicator for each tank
an oil pressure indicator
an oil temperature indicator
a cylinder head temperature
a coolant temperature
an oil quantity indicator - dipstick - located in the engine compartment
The equipment listed above is based on JAR-VLA and exceeds the requirements of BCAR
Section S.
Additional instruments may be installed.
Engine controls:
Dual throttles
of the push/pull type with adjustable friction clamp. Springs are added to
the throttle push rods to ensure that the engine will go to full power if the linkages fail. If
the friction clamp is loose, this tends to result in self-application of power unless the pilot
keeps constant
aft pressure on the throttle. The friction clamp, located forward of the
firewall, may be tightened or loosened.
Choke:
The choke is located near the pilot’s throttle (push/pull) control.
Carb heat is automatic (supplied by the exhaust manifold under the cowl) for the Rotax 912
when equipped with the Zenair exhaust and fiberglass cowl. See engine manual or consult
engine manufacturer for details.
Master switch connects the electrical system to the 12 Volt battery and charger/coil,
controlled by the regulator and a 15 amp reset breaker for safety. See Engine manual for
electrical system details.
Note: Engine will run with master off and/or breaker out, (the lighting and ignition coils
are two separate circuits) but no electric equipment will operate
Ignition key (or switch) must be ON to operate the engine. For safety remove key when
engine is not running.
Starter button (or key) is also located near pilot’s throttle control.
Note: All switches and or engine controls are
"up"
or “push forward” for operation, except the
choke which is “pull” for “on”.
Optional equipment, switches and/or fuses are subject to change or installed as requested. See
Equipment list.
The battery is mounted in the rear fuselage with Rotax 912 powerplant installation.
Powerplant:
Standard powerplant is Rotax 912, 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, w/opposed cylinders. Refer to engine
manual for detailed description of the engine.
Fuel system:
The fuel tank(s) are welded aluminium. The standard fuel system consist of one fuel tank
situated between the fire wall and instrument panel. There is also possibility of installing a
wing tanks.
Tanks capacity:
Standard
. . . . . . . . . . .
42 liters
Optional - “D” tank
. . . . . . .
22 liter
- “D” tank is approx. half size and allows to more
space between fuel tank and instrument panel (e.g for installing deeper avionics)
