and is in current forced landing practice, an engine failure should not lead to an accident and any competent and
well-trained pilot will be able to cope.
Levelling off into the cruise, set the attitude then the power setting and finally trim out the bar force using the
trimmer for pitch. The nosewheel steering can be used to provide some lateral trim, if required. Left steering
gives a small left yaw which translates into a slow right roll.
Descent Rate
Fully loaded, the engine-off sink rate is around 450 fpm at 50 mph (80km/h, 43kn) and increases as speed is
increased. Best glide angle is 10:1 at 55mph (1.6 nautical miles/1000 ft in still air)
Pitch
Whether flown solo or dual, pitch control is very smooth and positive, progressive and damped, providing good
“feel” at all times and in all manoeuvres. Pitch control is lighter when flown solo than dual. Pitch control force is
also affected by the trimmer; heavier in the slow trim setting than the fast (less so with electric trim). If caught out
in turbulent conditions, set trim to take-off to give more pitch feel. Fast trim should not exceed 100mph and only
the rear hangpoint should be used for the Quik trike. If outside the limit, refer to section 11.
Roll Control and Turns
At normal cruising speeds of 55 mph upwards, turns may be initiated by simply moving the control bar to the side
away from the required direction of turn. As the turn develops, the control bar should be eased out to maintain
the desired airspeed. As the desired bank angle is reached, the turn control input should be relaxed. Increasing
bank angles requires increasing bar-out pitch control forces to coordinate the turn. Roll control becomes slower
at low airspeeds, so the bar should be pulled in slightly to increase airspeed before commencing the turn. For
roll-out the control bar is moved towards the lower wing tip, and the nose is lowered as the horizon levels. When
the aircraft is flown solo, the roll response is faster for the same control force. Roll response is also less damped
especially at high speeds in excess of 90 mph. Small control inputs should be used. Co-ordinated turns can be
achieved with a maximum bar movement of 3 inches.
Trim
– Longitudinal
The Quik-GTR has a powerful electric trim system giving a very wide trim speed range of 55
– 95mph solo, 60-95
mph at maximum weight.
The aircraft should be set at the desired steady speed/attitude/power and then the trimmer operated to remove
the pilot’s pitch force on the control bar.
Trim for takeoff at the placarded position on the indicator, 60-70mph. Maximum rate of climb is at 60mph, but
70mph will still produce a strong climb and give better control in rough conditions. For landing approach, trim at
55-60mph solo, 60-65mph dual.
