CAUTION
Avoid excessive pressure at the aeroplane airframe - especially at the wing
tips, elevator, rudder, trim etc.
CAUTION
Handle the propeller by holding the blade root - never blade tip! If
starting the engine manually - always handle the propeller on a blade
surface i.e. do not hold only an edge.
8.4.2 Parking and Tie-Down
It is advisable to keep the aeroplane inside a hangar, or other safe area, having a
stable temperature, good ventilation, low humidity and a dust-free environment.
If the aeroplane is kept outside, it must be tethered to strong tie-down points,
particularly if it is to be left for some time. The aeroplane is equipped with mooring
eyes located on the lower surfaces of the wings.
Tie-Down Procedure:
1. Check: master, alternator, and ignition switches off.
2. Secure the control stick e.g. by means of the safety harness or tie the
control stick to the rudder pedals by a suitable rope.
3.
Shut all the ventilation windows.
4. Close and lock the cockpit.
5. Tie down the aircraft to the ground by a rope passed through the tie-down
eyes located on the lower surfaces of the wing. It is also necessary to tie down
the nose wheel landing gear and the tail skid to the ground.
When parking for a long time, it is recommended that the cockpit canopy, and
possibly the whole aeroplane, be covered by a suitable cover. Take great care to
ensure that:
•
the internal surface of such covers are clean and cannot abrade the
aeroplane’s surface.
•
the covers are pulled down taught to prevent wind induced flutter from
damaging the surface; use additional straps where necessary.
•
the aeroplane is parked into the prevailing wind, or in the most sheltered
area available.
8.4.3 Jacking
Because the empty weight of this aircraft is relatively low, two people can lift the
aircraft easily. First prepare two suitable supports for the fuselage. It is possible to
lift the aircraft as follows:
•
Push down on the rear part of the fuselage, just before the fin, to lift the
front of the aircraft. Then support the weight under the firewall.
•
To jack the rear part of the aircraft, handle the fuselage near the auxiliary
tail skid, lift it upward and support it.
•
To lift the wings, push from underneath the wings only at the main spar.
Avoid lifting the wings by means of handling the wing tips.
