PROCEDURES

Shoring, road transport or container transport

WARNING: The rotor system must be removed, disassembled and carefully packed for road
transport.
CAUTION: When wrapping the gyroplane make sure that foil or stretch does not cover the
painted surface directly. Put a soft layer in between for damage protection and let plastic
components breathe. Do not expose wrapped gyroplane or parts to sun radiation or heat in
order to avoid paint damage.
1 Restrain main wheels (blocks/chocks). For container transport replace main wheels with wooden blocks to
provide safe stand.
2 Put a wooden block below the lowest point of the keel tube and lash keel tube against wooden block. The
block should be dimensioned so that the main wheels (if installed) are half way unloaded.
3 Lash-down both main wheels through the lashing lugs (use rims/axles alternatively) and/or the mast tie-down
kit (option).
4 Lash-down nose wheel through its axle.
5 For container transport or shipping, use the mast tie-down kit (option) and consider folding the mast.
