Aborted Landing
If it is necessary to abort the landing use full power. At the moment when sufficient speed or
height is reached retract the flaps. (Speed 56-58 knots).
Stall
This airplane has good stability and the flight features. The features of the stall of this
airplane are normal and gentle. It will be possible to notice the stall coming on by the pull of
the joystick. The plane has built in stability and It can automatically help with the recovery of
the stall.
Balancing the Stall
The construction philosophy of this plane is to climb at speeds just above the stall. For this
reason the recovery from stall will be with minimal height loss. The airplane could be
recovered from the stall very quickly by reducing pressure of the joystick, but absolutely
(avoid too suddenly manoeuvre to avoid unwanted tilt, and at the same time apply full
throttle.
NOTE
All the controls are fully functional in all flight phases and normally only require mild moves of
joystick. At higher speed there are higher forces, therefore the airplane reactions will be
stronger. Avoid sudden moves of the control stick to avoid overloading the controls. The
ailerons are still effective near the stall speed, whilst the rudder and the elevator are
extremely effective. Avoid sudden control movements at low speed, to avoid a sudden stall.
Furthermore avoid the use the ailerons in low speed to avoid the stall due the crossed
steering. Correct use of the rudder provides the best control at slow speeds
After Landing
Leave the runway and park the airplane.
Let the engine cool at minimum RPM not to cool too rapidly. Switch off the magnetos and pull
out the starter key, chock the wheels and steering. Insert the parachute pin, secure the
airplane.

NOTE
: During climb, monitor the water & oil temperatures to avoid exceeding their
limits. The aircraft has been tested to ensure adequate cooling in climb, therefore any
excessive readings may indicate a malfunction. Should this occur, decrease the rate
of climb in order to increase the airspeed for improved cooling.
