4.
Hoist only from this point ensuring that cables/ropes do not mark the top of the
fuselage at corners above wing support brackets.

LEVELLING
Method 1
For longitudinal levelling use a spirit level on either side of the lower door sills.
For lateral leveling, use an accurate level placed against the flap drive cross tube (inside
the cabin, in the roof above the seats).
Longitudinal Method 2
Use the join line of the cowl top & bottom halves.
3.1.5
PARKING
Parking precautions depend principally on local conditions. As a general precaution,
chock the wheels and tie the control handle back firmly with a seat belt to lock the
controls. Park into the wind and tie down the aircraft as outlined in below if a hangar is not
available.
3.1.6
TIE DOWN
When mooring the aircraft in the open, head into wind if possible. Secure control surfaces
by tying the control handle back firmly with a seat belt.
Then:
1.
Tie ropes to the top end of each wing strut. Secure opposite end of the ropes to
ground anchors located at approximately 30 degrees to the vertical, outboard of the
top wing attachment point. Ensure that the ropes have sufficient slack to not strain
the wing attachments should a tyre deflate while the aircraft is tied down.
2.
Tie rope to the Tail Tie-down Hole in the Ventral Fin. Secure the opposite end of
rope to ground anchors.
3.1.7
FLYABLE STORAGE
Flyable storage is defined as a maximum of 30 days non-operational storage.
Ensure that the engine has been stopped by turning off the fuel valve, thereby not leaving
any fuel in the carburettor bowl.
Every 7
th
day the propeller should be rotated through 5 revolutions, without running the
engine. Leave the propeller in the horizontal position to ensure even distribution of liquids
in the wood. If left in the vertical position, liquids will drain to the lower tip resulting in an
unbalanced propeller.
CAUTION
Ensure that the Master and Ignition Switches are OFF!
Store under cover, away from direct sunlight.
