CAUTION
If the power lever is set to 0% after a motor run, means pulled down
to the noticeable stop position, the propeller is held vertically by the
motor. If then power is set again, the starter has to be engaged
again to activate the motor run.
NOTE
The motor speed is limited at its maximum permissible value by the
power electronics. This means, the motor cannot be overrevved
even at high towing speeds.
Prepare together with the tow pilot how to proceed in case of an aborted
take-off respectively engine failure for the different phases of the take-off
prior to the tow. The local conditions of the airfield and weather have to
be taken into account.
