n) Check full engine RPM (wheel brake locked on, a helper should lift the
fuselage nose), min. 5900 RPM.
Alternatively check the RPM during the initial take-off run.
Warning: If after engine start the message "Starter Run" is displayed on the
DEI-NT the starter motor didn't disengage and produces electric power, stop the
engine immediately to prevent damage of the control unit.
4.5.2.2 Taxiing
Taxiing without assistance can be done with the steerable tail wheel and
one wingtip on the ground.
Avoid longer taxiing if possible to be kind to the airframe and to the
powerplant.
Operate the airbrake handle (connected to wheel brake) with the left hand
and the throttle with the right hand.
Set trim fully nose up and pull the control stick to its stop to get pressure on
the tail wheel.
Caution: For taxiing always use engine speed such that the engine runs
smoothly. This prevents vibration damage at the propeller mount.
On concrete it may be necessary to apply a little wheel brake to reduce taxi
speed.
