When the ultralight reaches the takeoff safety speed it lifts up and the trike rotates quickly on the main
wheels. As the ultralight leaves the ground the control bar must be eased back to the trim position to
maintain takeoff safety speed.
Maintain your engine in top condition and assume it’s going to stop running at any time. Leave yourself a
way out for an unexpected engine failure.
Never fly your ultralight at locations, airspeeds, altitudes, or under any circumstances from which a
successful engine-off landing cannot be attempted.
8.5 Climb
Initial climb out should be made on full power for maximum take off weight. Once climb is established
power should be reduced. A minimum of takeoff safety speed should be used. At this speed the ultralight
would round out nicely into a glide should the engine fail. Avoid pitching the nose of the ultralight too
high to the horizon. Very steep climbs are dangerous and can result in a stall followed by a severe
pitching of the nose forward.
WARNING
NEVER STALL THE ULTRALIGHT WITH THE NOSE PITCHED UP BEYOND 45 DEGREES.
MANOEUVRES BEYOND THIS ARE DANGEROUS AND CAN RESULT IN A TAIL SLIDE FOLLOWED BY A
SEVERE TUMBLE.
8.6 Cruise
When the desired flight altitude is reached the ultralight may be leveled out and throttle reduced to that
required to maintain level flight.
The hand-operated throttle can be used to set engine rpm. Once the hand throttle is adjusted the
pressure on the foot pedal may be removed. When the hand throttle is actuated increase power can still
be achieved with the use of the foot throttle. The rpm will always return to the cruise setting when foot
pressure is removed. If the hand throttle is set a reduction in RPM is not achievable using the foot
throttle. The hand throttle must be in the off position to achieve low RPM.
CAUTION
HIGH-ANGLE CLIMB-OUTS NEAR THE GROUND SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
8.7 Descent, Approach and landing
WARNING
BEFORE FINAL APPROACH, CHECK BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT LANDING GEAR STRUTS POSITION AND
MAKE SURE THEY ARE EXTENDED!
Landing should always be into wind with a long straight approach.
Approach to the airstrip can be made with or without power, but in any case the airspeed should be
maintained above the nominated approach speed.
The ultralight should be flown on final approach at or above the nominated safety speed. The additional
airspeed allows for wind gradient, and to provide greater controllability in the rough air that may lie close
to the ground. Maintaining airspeed on final is very important for engine-off landings, allowing a margin
for round out before touch down.
The trike is designed to land with the rear wheels touching down slightly before the nose wheel. Once
firmly on the ground aerodynamic braking may be achieved by pulling in the control bar, then applying
the wheel brakes.
NOTE
After a hard landing, your ultralight must be completely checked.
