INSTRUMENT PANEL (FRONT COCKPIT)
Normally the instument panel in the front cockpit is only equipped with:
- Airspeed indicator
- Altimeter indicator.
7.7
LANDING GEAR
The landing gear is a composite construction with a multichamber fiberglass spring in a tail-wheel
design.
The main wheels have a size of 5-5.50 and they are equipped with hydraulic disc brakes.
To reduce aerodynamic drag carbonfiber wheel fairings are installed. They feature a submerged
air intake for brake disc cooling and a small hatch to reach the valve of the wheel tube for inflation.
The tail wheel has a solid rubber tire with full-swivel capability.
7.8
SEATS, SEAT BELTS
The seats are ergonomically shaped composite designs. The rear seat angle can be adjusted
on the ground with 2 quickpins, there are different seat angle possibilities. The back rest is
also adjustable on the ground in different positions and angle. The rear pedal-to-seat distance
can be varied in different positions. In the front cockpit there is no possibility to adjust either
the pedals nor the seat. The seat belt assembly consists of a left and a right shoulder strap,
two left and two right lap belts and a negative-g-strap. All belts are adjustable. As each lap
belt features a single point release, they are redundant for safety during aerobatic maneuvers.
If one release is opened unintentionally, the second one guarantees full safety. For safe
operation the releases are arranged in a way that one has to be closed to the right side, the
other one to the left. During acrobatic maneuvers the seat belt system should be tightened
firmly.
7.9
CANOPY
The canopy is manufactured in one section and can be manually operated by interior locking
handles located on the left side on the canopy.
To open the canopy from inside proceed as follows:
Pull together the interior locking handles of the front or rear seat and lift canopy to the right.
The canopy strap will limit the opening angle.
To lock the canopy pull together the interior locking handles and then release.
To open the canopy from the outside use the aft interior handles by reaching through the
small window (bad weather window) and proceed as mentioned above.
Generally the emergency operation is equal to the normal procedure. When opening the
canopy in normal flight the low pressure over the canopy will flip the canopy fully open
immediately. However complete jettison of the canopy is possible. In this case the canopy
can be finally unlatched at its RH hinge line by the following action:
push canopy slightly forward while opening.
