wheel design. The main wheels have a size of 5-5.50 and they are equipped with hydraulic
disc brakes. The tail wheel has a solid rubber tire with full-swivel capability.

and angle is mechanically adjustable on ground by quickpins and bolts. The lower seat
surface itself is fixed.
Seat to pedal distance can be varied on ground and in flight using the electrically actuated
pedal adjustment system. Each pedal can be adjust separate by a switch on the instrument
panel.
The seat belt assembly consists of right and left shoulder straps, two right and two left lap
belts and a negative g-strap. All belts are adjustable. The lap belts have a separate single
point release for redundant safety during acrobatic maneuvers. If one release is opened
unintentionally the second one guarantees full safety. To assure safe operation one release
must be closed to the right the other one to the left. During acrobatic maneuvers the seat
belt system should be tightened firmly.
