load
140 kg 135 kg 129 kg 125 kg
Any trike, built by an amateur or in series production, of a total maximum weight under 212 kg may be fixed under
the wing. The necessary engine power for a safe flight should be at least 25 CV. Check when fitting whether the
trike propeller stays clear of the lower rear longitudinal cables and the keel. A maximum clearance of 10 cm of
should be respected since the wing is its most backward position.
