  • Page 12: General Description

    2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The P&M Aviation Quik-GTR is an advanced weight-shift controlled aircraft. It may be flown solo or dual without ballast. The aircraft has been developed for advanced cross-country touring performance; a stable hands-off cruise of 70 to 95 mph makes long cross-country trips very practicable. Using appropriate airfields and the instructor control bars, it can also be used as a safe and reliable training machine.

    The Sail The Quik-GTR wing is the product of one the most experienced flexwing design teams in the world today. The sail fabric is cut with exacting accuracy from stabilised polyester using tight, virtually non-porous and tear- resistant weave construction. Double-stitched seams using PTFE UV resistant thread ensure complete panel join integrity.

    The screen extension is removable with Dzus Fasteners. The Quik-GTR wing tip fins are optional. Without fins, the roll handling is lighter but the high speed directional stability is slightly reduced and the fully fast trim speed will be slower by a few mph. The trim speed can be recovered by turning the tip adjusters down 2-3 scale divisions, so as to give more lift at the tips.

  • Page 48: Flight

    The Quik-GTR wing has low drag and an extremely wide speed range. Care must be taken not to fly the aircraft beyond VNe or into a steep nose up pitch attitude. The wing will stall if the control bar is pushed out to the front strut and held there.
  • Page 49: Primary Controls

    Engine speeds up WARNING It is absolutely essential that all persons wishing to fly the Quik-GTR are trained to a minimum standard of the syllabus as published by the British Microlight Aircraft Association, carried out by a recognised training organisation for this type of aircraft. It is absolutely essential that all persons with experience of 3 axis aircraft undertake a flexwing conversion course on a dual-control flexwing aircraft before attempting to fly the P&M Aviation Quik-GTR.
  • Page 50: Ground Handling

    Flexwing Microlights require special ground handling techniques. Parking The Quik-GTR is best parked into wind, though the wing down method may be used in light winds. Wing Down: Set the parking brake with the aircraft across and slightly downwind. Bank the into-wind wing down till the tip touches the ground.
  • Page 51: Take-Off

    Idle speed should be set at around 1400 RPM for the Rotax 912S/912 engine. Run engine to 3850 RPM, then turn OFF front magneto. Listen for any misfire and observe mag drop (see also Engine Operators P&M QUIK-GTR Manual, ref. QUIK-GTR Man 1.0.doc Page 51...
  • Page 52: En-Route

    Take-off Technique The hand throttle should not be used during take-off. Set the pitch trim control to the Quik-GTR placarded take- off position. Check brakes are OFF. The correct technique on smooth surfaces is to allow the wing to trim in pitch during the initial stages of the take off run so as to reduce the drag and increase the acceleration.
  • Page 53 Do not exceed more than 60 of bank. Trim – Longitudinal The Quik-GTR has a powerful electric trim system giving a very wide trim speed range of 55 – 95mph solo, 60-95 mph at maximum weight. The aircraft should be set at the desired steady speed/attitude/power and then the trimmer operated to remove the pilot’s pitch force on the control bar.
  • Page 54 At the stall, a light wing drop may be found but is easily corrected. If necessary, hold the bar firmly to counter any tendency for the nose to pitch up excessively during the recovery. The P&M Quik-GTR wing is remarkably stable, and even if stalled in a turn will not spin, but pitch down, increase air speed and roll out into a shallow turn or straight flight.
  • Page 55: Landing

    Periodically warm the engine in the descent, particularly in cold and moist conditions. Because of the great speed range of the Quik-GTR, the aircraft must be trimmed to a reduced speed for landing in order not to overshoot the runway. If the speed and/or the altitude are too high, make the decision to go around early.
  • Page 56: Emergency Procedures

    FLY THE AIRCRAFT. Set up a steady glide. The best glide of the Quik-GTR is approximately 10:1 at 55 mph, but this can be reduced to 5:1 at 90 mph.
  • Page 57 In this case, select fast trim whereupon the whole system will go slack and so not affect the wing. Land with fast trim set, being prepared for a stronger than normal push-out to flare for landing. P&M QUIK-GTR Manual, ref. QUIK-GTR Man 1.0.doc Page 57...

    The undercarriage, tyres & wheels  Loose objects  Oil and coolant levels NOTE  If leaving the aircraft rigged, the trimmer should be left slack in the high speed position. P&M QUIK-GTR Manual, ref. QUIK-GTR Man 1.0.doc Page 58...
  • Page 59: De-Rigging The Aircraft

    The Quik-GTR strutted wing/trike configuration can be quickly folded to minimise hangarage space. Only configuration 3 is recommended for road transport. 10.1 Folding Configuration 1.
  • Page 60: Fold Configuration 1

    Secure the trailing edges with ties, or if all battens are removed, roll up each wing and secure it with sail ties. 10) Protect the sail with UV light proof covers. P&M QUIK-GTR Manual, ref. QUIK-GTR Man 1.0.doc Page 60...
  • Page 61: Fold Configuration

    To rig for flight from configuration 2, use the reverse procedure. It is possible to open the wings by pulling on the cross boom cord in this position, though assistance may help. Lift the trailing edges as the wings open to assist correct deployment of the washout rods. P&M QUIK-GTR Manual, ref. QUIK-GTR Man 1.0.doc Page 61...
  • Page 62: Rigged Wing Storage

    If storing the wing alone rigged, it should be parked in a sheltered location nose-down with rigging extension inserted. Undo the wing undersurface inspection zips and pass tie-down ropes around the cross-boom or side- wires. The nose cone should be removed and stowed under the leading edge Mylar. P&M QUIK-GTR Manual, ref. QUIK-GTR Man 1.0.doc Page 62...
  • Page 63: Wing Overnight Parking

    This may result in mildew on the sail or general degradation of the airframe and fittings. If possible dry the wing before de-rigging. Otherwise open the bag zip before the wing is stored. P&M QUIK-GTR Manual, ref. QUIK-GTR Man 1.0.doc Page 63...
  • Page 64: Tuning The Wing

    With the STARS system, it has been found best to move the tip adjuster plugs symmetrically, only for trim speed adjustment. Instead of adjusting the tips asymmetrically, the STARS cords can be used to tune out low speed turns and the wing rib reflex technique used for high speed turns. P&M QUIK-GTR Manual, ref. QUIK-GTR Man 1.0.doc Page 64...
  • Page 65: Tuning Guide

    The reflex should be applied 230mm from the trailing edge and applied in small increments up to a maximum of 20mm. Start with 5mm reflex, test fly, then adjust in 5mm increments as required .Do not exceed 20mm reflex! P&M QUIK-GTR Manual, ref. QUIK-GTR Man 1.0.doc Page 65...
  • Page 66 The standard setting is just enough tension to keep the D ring secure. Differential tensioning of the tips to attempt to tune out a turn has not been found effective. P&M QUIK-GTR Manual, ref. QUIK-GTR Man 1.0.doc Page 66...
  • Page 67: Tuning Pitch

    11.3.3 Selection of Hang Point There are two hang points, only the rear hangpoint is approved for the Quik-GTR and should be set to give approximately 90mph hands off trim speed with the trimmer set fully fast. For economical cruising or training, the rear position is recommended.
  • Page 68 Once the fast trim has been set, then the slow trim can be checked by winding to the full slow position. The slow trim will be 5 mph faster at maximum all-up weight than at minimum loading. P&M QUIK-GTR Manual, ref. QUIK-GTR Man 1.0.doc Page 68...
  • Page 69 On no account should the washout rod settings be dropped in an effort to increase trim speed, as dangerous pitch instability may result. Combinations of pitch and roll tuning: The above adjustments for pitch and roll may be superimposed, up to the adjustment limits specified. P&M QUIK-GTR Manual, ref. QUIK-GTR Man 1.0.doc Page 69...
  • Page 70: Maintenance

    Apart from the consequences of heavy landing, or of exceeding flight limitations, the major factors for attention are corrosion, fatigue and UV light. There is no inherent fatigue problem with the P&M Quik-GTR, but excessive loads and vibration can weaken the structure, and a regular watch for hair-line cracks, most likely in areas under high stress, such as around bolt holes, should be carried out.
  • Page 71: General

    Never use spirits, alcohol, thinners or any strong detergents when cleaning the sail. These may damage the cloth or threads, leading to structural failure of the sail fabric which could result in injury or death. P&M QUIK-GTR Manual, ref. QUIK-GTR Man 1.0.doc Page 71...
  • Page 72 It is essential that they are reformed at frequent intervals and checked against the template. If you have to rig regularly, you should check your rib profiles every 25 hours. If you leave your Quik-GTR rigged, check the ribs every 100 hours. The best way to reform the rib is to hold it against your knee and, whilst applying pressure to bow the rib, slide it side to side over the area you want to bend.

  • Page 74: Trike

    12.3. TRIKE General The Quik-GTR trike has been designed to permit easy inspection and operators should have no difficulty in assessing problems or recognising damage if visual checks are carried out conscientiously. The trike may be transported and stored fully assembled or folded down. If folded down, for transport - The pylon must be supported to prevent damage to the structure.
  • Page 75: Lubrication

    Failure to do so could result in injury or death. All other bearings are life sealed and require no additional lubrication. P&M Aviation Quik-GTR Manual, Quik-GTR1.0doc Page 75...
  • Page 76: Inspection And Servicing Schedules

    Lubricate the throttle, choke and brake cables with WD40 if they ever become too stiff. This is particularly important on the Rotax 912S/912 powered Quik-GTR. Work the WD40 into the cable outers by moving the pedal backwards and forwards as you spray. Lubricate the throttle splitter-box at least every 100 hours with WD40 by pulling the cable outers away from their location holes and using the WD40 extension tube inserted in each hole in turn, spray for a second or so.

  • Page 79 12.6. INSPECTION CRITERIA: General In the main, the safe working life of the structural components of the P&M Quik-GTR is dictated by the environment in which the aircraft is used and the care taken during day to day operations. Inspection, therefore, is an essential tool in deciding the continued use of most components.
  • Page 80 Increased washout improves pitch stability and also prevents the possibility of tip stalling. Tension in cord 3 also applies a direct mechanical nose-up pitch relative to the trike. The combined effect is to slow the trim speed and increase pitch stability. P&M Aviation Quik-GTR Manual, Quik-GTR1.0doc Page 80...
  • Page 81 The overall effect is to increase washout in the right wing and reduce it in the left wing. Typically the roll rate from 30 degrees left to 30 degrees right is reduced from 5 seconds to 3.5 seconds at 50mph. The wing remains controllable in roll right down to the stalling speed. P&M Aviation Quik-GTR Manual, Quik-GTR1.0doc Page 81...
  • Page 82 The main charging fuse from the regulator to the battery should be 30A when electric trim is fitted.  The main fuse from the master switch to the main electrical bus should be 20A when electric trim is fitted. P&M Aviation Quik-GTR Manual, Quik-GTR1.0doc Page 82...
  • Page 83: Fatigue Life

    For the following small items, inspection is not practical and so replacement is strongly recommended at the following times: Hang bolt 250 hours. WARNING It is vitally important that the lifing & NDT of all components is strictly observed, or serious injury or death could occur. P&M Aviation Quik-GTR Manual, Quik-GTR1.0doc Page 83...
  • Page 84: Repairs

    13. REPAIRS WARNING The P&M Aviation Quik-GTR airframe is deceptively simple, but like all aircraft requires skilled and qualified attention. We do not recommend self repair or re-assembly by other than P&M Aviation or P&M Aviation nominated repair agents. No replacement parts should be fitted unless they are factory supplied and identified.
  • Page 85 Note that other approved modifications may exist which are not listed here. The P&M Quik-GTR wing can be flown on the Quik or GT450 trike provided the following essential modifications are embodied. New placarding for the trim indicator, Vne and weights will be required. Note that only the 912S engine with slipper clutch and Warp Drive propeller, or 912 engine with Warp Drive propeller are approved for the Quik-GTR.
