CAUTION
:
fitting of any equipment or any other change should never lead to exceeding the
maximum empty weight value mentioned above, according to security standards and aircraft
conformity.
It is possible to adapt other trikes than the ones mentioned above. Their maximum weight should be under
405 kg (875 lbs), once loaded.
The stability of the trike only in yaw must be absolutely positive
in order
to guarantee the stability at high speed.
Then progressive tests will be performed to check the adaptation wing / trike, especially concerning the
position of the control bar and the thrust line height. The necessary engine power for safe two-seater flight
should be at least 50 HP.
Check during fitting whether the trike propeller stays clear of the lower rear
longitudinal cables and the keel.
A minimum clearance of 5 cm ( inches) should be respected when
the hang point is set to the front position and the wing is at its most nose up and banked position.
