Push on the propeller near the hub, steering left and right by pushing on one side of the
propeller harder than the other side. It is quite easy to steer the trike in the desired
direction using this method.
2.3.2
&
Parking and Tie Down
Never leave the trike outside without securing both the wing and the trike. Be sure the wing is
tilted into the wind, and secure the parking brake. For wind conditions greater than 5mph, the
wing should be secured using the tie down straps located inside the wing at the crosstube-to-
leading edge connection zipper. Position the wing at 90
°
to the wind direction so that the wind
tends to press the lowered wing down further. Anchor owner supplied straps to the tie down
straps inside the wing so as to hold this angle into the wind.
2.3.3
&
Lifting
The nose of the trike can be lifted using the hand hold underneath the nose of the wind fairing.
BE CAREFUL
not to lift the nose too quickly or too high. Any trike will easily go beyond
the balance point, and can flip over onto the propeller causing substantial damage to the trike,
wing, and engine.
