Warning: The discrepancy between Maximum Cockpit Load of 104 kg <229 lbs>
and Minimum Cockpit Load of 110 kg <242 lbs> with tail fin tank full indicates,
that before each take off the installation position of the tail fin battery must be
checked and functional check for the tail fin tank valve is required to make sure
that no unintended amount of water remains in the fin tank..
To check the valve place tail tank filling adapter into the tank outlet and open the
cockpit lever. If air cannot be blown into the tank, the valve is not functioning
properly (for instance frozen solid or operating cable fractured)
