The Rolling Chassis
The main structure of the trike is of square section high strength aluminium alloy tube. A rigid composite tandem
seat is fitted which locates onto the tubular seat frame. The seat incorporates a foldable backrest for the front
seat occupant.
The rear undercarriage comprises Chro-Mo steel alloy tubular wishbones with suspension by polyurethane
elastomer incorporated in the tubular aluminium alloy struts. The braked main wheels are accessible by removing
the quickly-detachable wheel spatfins.
The nose undercarriage is steerable and incorporates footrests and throttle/brake controls. A trailing link
elastomer suspension system is fitted.
The Fuel Tank and System
Fuel is fed from a single fuel tank mounted beneath the seats. The fuel system has a fuel cock and external filter
backed up by an internal strainer fitted to the end of the fuel tank pick-up pipe. External fuel pipes are fire-
resistant to a specification that meets British Civil Airworthiness Requirements - Section S.
The approximate calibration of the fuel tank is as follows:
% Tank Volume
Gauge Reading
0 to 15

16 to 27
1/8
28 to 41

42 to 57

Before you place any reliance on your fuel gauge, you will need to calibrate the fuel gauge on your particular
aircraft. As is general practice in aviation, you should visually check the fuel tanks to confirm that the contents
match the fuel gauge reading before flying. When flying, use your watch to time the flight against known fuel
burn at a given rpm, and always leave plenty of fuel in reserve.
CAUTION
Damage may result on CDI engines if the engines are
turned over without the plug leads connected.
Never rely on the fuel gauge accuracy alone
when calculating flight distances left to run. A
forced landing due to running out of fuel could
result in injury or death.
