De-rigging
1. Ensure that the non-expendable tail tank is drained of water.
2. Remove auxiliary items.
3. Remove the main batteries and lock the battery retainers back
in position.
4. Remove the total energy tube and pitot-static tubes, as well as
any temporary equipment (Logger etc.). Install the “Remove

Retracting the undercarriage
1. Lock the tail wheel in the down position by inserting the optional
locking pin or ensure that the tail dolly is fitted before retracting
the landing gear.
2. Roll the aircraft into the fuselage dolly. (The gear doors should
be approximately 5 cm (2 inches) from the ramp end).
3. Lift the ramp until the main wheel is approximately 5 cm (2
inches) off the ground.
4. Retract the main wheel.
CAUTION: Permanent damage to the retractable tail wheel
mechanism will result if the landing gear is retracted with
the tail wheel on the ground.
