8.6 GROUND HANDLING
a) Due to its low weight and the free swiveling tail wheel two persons can easily move the
airplane by hand.
b) To tie down the airplane M6 nut plates are provided in the wing tips where ring bolts can
be screwed in. The tail wheel leg can be used as third point to tie down the airplane.
If the aircraft is parked in the open, it must be protected against the effects of weather, the
degree of protection depending on severity of the weather conditions and the expected
duration of the parking period. When the airplane is parked in good weather conditions for
less than a half day park the aircraft headed into the wind and place wheel chocks at the
main wheels.
c) To level the aircraft, the tail wheel is rested on a balance and jacked to a position that the
fuselage reference line (upper fuselage stringer tube) is horizontal. There are two engine
hoists provided on the top of the engine which can be used to lift the airplane with a crane.
