The airbrakes are locked by moving the airbrake handle fully forward,
over the over-centre lock. A force of approximately 15 to 20 kg is required
to lock the airbrakes.
A damper restricts the rate of opening to reduce high loads on the aircraft
if the airbrakes are opened at high speed.
CAUTION: The airbrake caps may oscillate at speeds between 100
and 130 km/h when opened approximately 20mm.
Avoid prolonged airbrake settings where the caps are
oscillating.
WARNING: When closing the airbrakes ensure the airbrake lever is
fully forward and locked over-centred. The first detent
position is not the fully closed position.
Baggage compartment
The maximum weight of items in the baggage compartment is 1 kg. This
should only be used for soft items that will not injure the pilot in the event
of a hard or crash landing. Ensure that the batteries stored in this area
are secured with the battery straps and thumb screws. Ensure that the
airflow holes in the rear are not obstructed as this might lead to a
reduction in performance of the aircraft.
