8. HANDLING AND SERVICING

8.1 Introduction

This section contains factory-recommended procedures for proper ground

handling and servicing of the airplane. It also identifies certain inspection and

maintenance requirements, which must be followed if the airplane is to retain

that new-plane performance and dependability.

8.2 Ground handling

8.2.1 Parking

It is advisable to park the airplane inside a hangar or alternatively inside any

other suitable space (garage) with stable temperature, good ventilation, low

humidity and dust-free environment.

It is necessary to moor the airplane when it is parked outside a hangar. Also

when parking for a long time, cover the cockpit canopy, possibly the whole

airplane by means of a suitable tarpaulin.

8.2.2 Jacking

Since the empty weight of this aircraft is relatively low, two people can lift the

aircraft easily. First of all prepare two suitable supports to support the aircraft.

It is possible to lift the aircraft by handling the following parts:

• By pushing the fuselage rear section down in the place of a bulkhead the

fuselage front section may be raised and then supported under the firewall.

• By holding the fuselage rear section under a bulkhead the fuselage rear

may be raised and then supported under that bulkhead.

• To lift up a wing, push from underneath that wing

only

at the main spar

area. Do not lift up a wing by handling the wing tip.

8.2.3 Road transport

The aircraft may be transported after loading on a suitable car trailer. It is

necessary to dismantle the wings before road transport. The aircraft and

dismantled wings should be attached securely to protect these parts against

possible damage.
