Limitations
2.4.1 FUEL
Minimum grade aviation gasoline : 100/100LL; for alternate fuelgrades see latest revision of
Lyc. S.I. No. 1070
Total fuel capacity: 122 litres (32.1 US Gallon)
Usable fuel capacity: 117 litres (30.8 US Gallon)
For acrobatic flight wing tanks must be empty.
Total fuel capacity for acrobatic 36 litres (9.5 US Gallon) in acro tank.
Usable fuel capacity for acrobatic 32 litres (8.5 US Gallon) in acro tank.
2.4.2 ENGINE LIMITATIONS
a) Power in MSL
-Max. Takeoff Power: 200 HP @ 2700 RPM with full throttle
-Max. Continuous Power: 185 HP @ 2500 RPM with full throttle
b) Oil-temperature gauge
-Max 118°C 245°F
c) Oil capacity
-Maximum sump capacity: 8 qts.
-Minimum sump capacity: -Acrobatic: 6 qts.
-Normal: 4 qts.
d) Oil pressure
-Minimum Idling 172 kPa 25 Psi
-Normal 414 - 621 kPa 60 - 90 Psi
-Starting, Warm up,
Taxi and Takeoff 379 - 689 kPa 55-100 Psi
C A U T I O N
It is normal for the oil pressure to "flicker" from 10 to 30 psi (69 to 207 kPa) when going from
upright to inverted flight. During knife edge flights and zero-g flights oil pressure may drop
and the oil system may not scavenge resulting in engine failure or damage if flight is
prolonged. Knife edge and zero-g flight should not exceed 10 seconds.
W A R N I N G
If oil pressure drops to 0 psi the propeller pitch changes automatically to coarse (high) pitch
with a corresponding decrease in RPM. Apply positive g to avoid engine stoppage.
e) Fuel pressure
- Max. 83 kPa 12 Psi
f) Cylinder head temperature
- Max 260°C 500°F
