7.5 Trimmer operation
7.5.1
Arrow and Arrow K Wings
The trimmer system allows in flight trim adjustment by rotating the trimmer wheel on the right downtube. The
swage on the trimmer wire is used as a pointer on the trimmer placard.
Turning the trim handle pulls the keel down at the rear, acting like a counterweight. This causes a reduction
in trim speed of 10-15 knots
For all wings during take off and landing the recommended trimmer setting is in the fast trim position. It is
acceptable to set the trim as far as mid trim position for take off and landing. The decal on the control frame
upright, adjacent to the trimmer knob indicates the trim position.
There is a slight increase in roll pressures as the trimmer is used to decrease trim speed.
The aircraft is designed to be stable at trim under all loads with a small increase in trim airspeed as the
AUW is increased.
7.6 Instrument panel
The instrument panel consists of an
analogue airspeed indicator (knots) on
the left side with the digital GX2
instrument mounted centrally in the dash.
A power circuit breaker, power switch,
12V DC outlet and starter button can be
found on the right side of the dash.

7.7 Undercarriage System
The microlight uses a tricycle undercarriage with a braking system via rear wheel disc brakes.
The rear suspension is a swinging wish bone design in conjunction with a 45mm compression strut which
houses an oil pneumatic shock absorber.
