7.3 Before Starting Engine
NOTE
Your trike is carefully test flown at Aeros factory. However, the brake-in procedure of the engine is rather
continuous and has not been finished. It needs about 10 flying hours for the brake-in to be completed.
During this period it is forbidden to use maximum power, except for very short time during take-off.
Good braking-in will prolong the life of your engine.
Safety is everyone’s business. Included are only some important safety tips. Keep a good lookout, be
thoughtful and always show your intentions prior to starting.
