- press button of START and keep it until the engine starts but no more than 10 sec. to try restarting
after a pause;
- if it is an opportunity to warm up the engine for 2-3 min. at 3000-4000 RPM then set up the
engine power needs for the further flight target;
- in case of emergency climbing if it is possible do not put the engine at once on take-off
position.
COUTION!
POWER PLANT EXTENDING SHOULD INCREASE DESCENT OF GLIDER HARDLY
IF ENGINE CAN NOT BE STARTED PREMATURE LANDING IS POSSIBLE THEREFOR
EXTENDING MUST BE MADE AT SUITABLE LANDING AREA. MINIMUM RECOMENDED
ALTITUDE FOR POWER PLANT EXTENDIND IS 200 m.

. PECULIARITIES OF TAXYING, TAKE-OFF AND LANDING
7.1 The powered sailplane allows providing good taxying singly, using two rollers on the wing tips.
The driving direction is corrected by rudder. To turn it is necessary to do as follows below:
- pull the joy stick;
- apply on a brake;
- move the rudder in the necessary side;
- pull the throttle lever increasing RPM smoothly releasing the brake to turn.
Independent taxying can be carry out at wind not exceed 3 m/s, at greater wind keeping of driving
direction is hampered, the attendant who holds the end of the wing is required. The helping is desirable in
case of rough airfield and obstacles which are able to make pierce a hole in the sail of dropped wing.
Speed of driving should not be inconvenient for the attendant and in case of change of direction it is
necessary to pause to move from outside to inside of a turn.
7.2. For self-launching it is necessary:
- extend the flaps in position #1;
- apply on a brake and pull fully the joy stick;
- push the throttle lever in TAKE-OFF position;
- release the brake and to stat the movement;
- after lifting-off the nose wheel, continue the take-off run keeping the angle of pitch;
- after lifting-off of the sailplane from the strip, set speed of 65 km/h and climb;
7.3. Analysis on landing with the retracted power-unit should make with overfly at speed not less
than 65 km/h:
- after the fourth turn the flaps extend in position #1;
- the gliding angle should correct by increasing of extending of the flaps;
- if the sailplane with the full flaps overflies the chosen point of landing it is necessary to increase a
speed of gliding within the limitation.
At rough conditions the landing should be at raised speed.
7.4. Analysis on landing with extended and non-running engine should be taken into account the
power-unit increases a gliding angle appreciably. Landing approach mast be performed at speed not less
than 75 km/h.
7.5. Analysis on landing with running engine should be made in a manner that sudden engine failure
did not influence on safety landing.
