1.7 PLACARD REPLACEMENT
If placards need to be replaced you can order them through Flysynthesis Srl at
or contact your local representative.
1.8 GROUND HANDLING
The TEXAN aircraft is very light and should always be moved by hand.
Moving the aircraft is accomplished by using the prop hub to pull the aircraft forward, it is
best to position the propeller in the horizontal position and hold the propeller close to the
hub. For rearward motion holding onto the rear vertical fin allows for easy rearward
motion.
WARNING
Do not spin the propeller whilst the engine is hot as it may fire when the propeller is
moved and result in injury.
Always ensure that master and Ignition are OFF.
Always treat the propeller as LIVE! IT KILLS!
Never approach the propeller when someone is in the aircraft.
Never use any of the control surfaces to move the aircraft for ground handling.
1.9 TIE DOWN
When mooring the aircraft in the open, head into wind if possible. Secure control surfaces
by tying the control stick back firmly with a latched seat belt.
Tie ropes to the designated wing attachment points located underneath the wing nearest
the wing tip. Anchor the rope approximately 30 degrees to the vertical, outboard of the
wing attachment point. Ensure sufficient slack as not to place strain on the wing in the
event of tire deflation whilst in the tied down position. A third rope is anchored around the
Stabiltator hinge and secured rearward in the same manner as the wings.
