TL3000
Sirius
Notice! The information contained in this document is for reference and information only.
The pilot is the final and only responsible party for the safe operation of this aircraft.
Adjusting the propeller blades to high pitch (high propeller
„a ngle of attack‟ AOA or „ big angle‟) static blade setting, in an
attempt to obtain a high cruise speed, may cause one of
more of the following problems:
1. Low engine RPM ―b og-down‖ at full throttle
2. Inability to obtain a sufficient ground RPM,
3. May not allow a safe takeoff or climb out.
4. Detonation, engine damage, or failure,
5. Extended takeoff rolls and low climb rates.
6. High engine CHT & oil temperatures during climb
7. Vibration due to minor differences in the blade pitch.

MANEUVER LIMITS
This airplane is certified as a Light Sport Aircraft and is not approved for
aerobatic flight, including spins. All aerobatic maneuvers, including spins, are
prohibited.
An aerobatic maneuver, as defined by FAA 14 CFR 91.303, is an intentional
maneuver involving an abrupt change in an aircraft's attitude, an abnormal
attitude, or abnormal acceleration not necessary for normal flight.
Additional flight attitude and maneuver limitations are specified by the
engine manufacturer to assure appropriate flow of fuel, coolant, and
lubrication. See the Rotax engine manuals included as a CD with the
aircraft documents.
