l) Check the extension-retraction mechanism by operating it in both
directions. The extension time should not exceed 10 seconds!
Extend the engine halfway;
m) Check the brake fluid level, the reservoir is located left hand side above
and behind the main-spar connection;
n) Check the fuel level by the DEI-NT.
3. C.G. Tow hook:-
a) Check the ring muzzle of the C.G. hook for wear and function;
b) Check for cleanliness and corrosion;
4. Main landing gear
a) Check the struts, the gear box, the gear doors and the tyre for wear; dirt
in the struts can hinder the landing gear from locking over centre the
next time!;
Check the tyre pressure: 3.0 bar – 43.5 psi;
b) Check wheel brake and hose for wear and function;
5. Left wing:-
a) Check locking of the outboard wing;
b) Check the aileron for excessive free play;
c) Check airbrake- and box and control rod for wear and free play. It must
be possible to retract the airbrake, even if it is pressed backwards in
direction of flight. If there is any water in the airbrake box this has to be
removed;
d) Check the locking of the rear wing attachment pin.
6. Powerplant
Extend the powerplant via the manual switch (ignition off)
a) Check the connection of spindle drive and gas strut to engine and fuselage.
To accomplish this extend the engine only so far, that you still can see the
connection to the engine mount. Check especially for cracks in the spindle
drive fork.
b) Check both bolts of the front engine mount, these bolts are responsible
for the correct drive belt tension;
Note: The rear bolt takes over the loads of the drive belts, the front bolt acts as
securing device in case the rear bolt fails.
c) Check V-belts for wear and correct tension, sudden loss of tension
indicates damage of the bolt see item b);
d) Check ignition system incl. wires and the spark plug connectors for tight
fit
e) Fully extend the powerplant;
f) Check the propeller mount for cracks, especially at the welding seams.
