Warming up and Power Check
• operate wheel brakes and pull elevator back
• check engine fuel pump: electrical fuel pump (right hand tank) "OFF" and right fuel cock "OFF". After 2-3
minutes there should be no drop in engine rpm.
• warm up engine with 1500 - 2000 rpm
• wait for oil temperature to reach 122 deg. F / 50 deg. C
• check revolutions under full throttle (3250 rpm)
• check cylinder head temperatures (switch over) and oil pressure
• electrical fuel pump "ON" and right fuel cock "ON"
Taxying
• observe taxying area
• seating position as well as wing geometry do not allow the crew to observe the outer wing further then the
leading edge sweep-back. This blind spot must be considered absolutely during taxying.
• when taxying slowly operate wheel brakes carefully.
• depending on surface conditions and because of the large moment of inertia the function of the tailwheel
steering is delayed.
• to avoid damage of the propeller, taxi on surface with lose stones and gravel with low revolution.
4.5.2 Take-off and Climb
Checks before take off
• check engine revolution under full throttle (3250 rpm).
• choke "OFF"
• canopy locked
• trim neutral
• fuel cocks both "OPEN"
• electrical fuel pump "ON"
• check engine control instruments
• flaps pos. + 5 (deg.)
• air brakes locked
Caution: Always check open fuel cocks carefully. When fuel cocks are closed, the engine will run on for
about 1 - 3 minutes. Closed fuel cocks may lead to a loss of engine power in the take off phase.
Caution: Because of the special fuel system both fuel tanks must contain a fuel quantity sufficient for take
off.
Caution: Before taxiing from taxi-hold position to take off position, pay attention that the parking brake is
deactivated (lever is in OFF position respectively parking brake unlocked). The parking brake
shall not be used on the runway anymore.
To release the parking brake turn rotary handle to OFF position respectively unlock the brake
lever, use brake lever simultaneously if required.
