7.14 Pitot and static system
See diagram 6 M.M.
Pitot probe in fuselage nose, and static ports a short distance behind
fuselage nose.
The airspeed indicator is to be connected to these ports and probe.
Second set of static ports near the instrument panel for variometer or
flight computer systems.
The altimeter is to be connected to one of these sets of static ports.
Holder for TE-probe or for a Multiprobe in the fin to operate variometer
and flight computer systems.
To preserve the sealings inside the holder the end of the probe should be

7.15 Canopy emergency release
For emergency release only, the red handle at the canopy is to be
operated. By this action the canopy opening lever will also be operated
and a hook at the rear canopy lock will be rotated underneath the fuselage
part of the canopy frame. Because of the hook in case of emergency
release the canopy will rotate arou1d this point and will leave the fuselage
in a safe and fast way. The spring will open the canopy at the nose far
enough to be blown away by the oncoming air.
Checking the emergency release on the ground:
Pull the emergency release knob, the canopy should spring open at the
nose min. 6 cm (2.4 in.).
Reinstalling the canopy:
Pull the canopy hinge into the open position. Replace the emergency
release spring. Two people are required to hold the canopy - one at the
nose, the other at the rear. The emergency release locking mechanism
should be in the open position. Place the canopy on the hinge and press
down. Relocate the locking mechanism. Push the hook forwards at the
rear canopy lock until it snaps in.
