1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 Trike The ANT-70 trike is a one seat weight shift controlled nanolight trike. It is a light weight modification of the ANT trike and designed to comply with sub 70kg aviation regulations. The regulations allow hang glider pilots to fly sub 70kg aircraft on wheels with a simple powered endorsement, which means there is no need to do a full ultralight licence.

7.4 Fuelling Fuel flow is from a single fuel tank fitted with a self-venting tube. Never refuel if fuel could be spilled on hot engine components. Use only safety approved fuel containers. Never transport fuel in an unsafe manner. The fuel system has an in-line fuel filter. This filter can be easily disassembled for cleaning and inspection Fuel tank capacity is 12 liters.
Page 17 When taxiing in strong wind conditions the follow procedures apply: · Head Wind conditions require the nose of the wing to be lowered just below the trim position. · Down Wind conditions requires the nose of the wing to be raised just above the trim position. ·...
Page 18: Emergency Procedures
8.7 Descent, Approach and landing Landing should always be into wind with a long straight approach. Approach to the airstrip can be made with or without power, but in any case the airspeed should be maintained above the nominated approach speed. The ultralight should be flown on final approach at or above the nominated safety speed.
Page 19 technique is for safety reasons as engines are susceptible to stopping, no matter how reliably manufactured or maintained. Keep a good lookout for other ultralight, always be thoughtful and show your intentions. Remember that the manufacturer cannot foresee all conceivable circumstances. Particular circumstances such as multiple or unanticipated emergencies, adverse weather etc may require modification to these procedures.
Page 20 Maintain Control Ignition off Forced Landing After landing release seat belt Evacuate ultralight. 9.7 On Ground Engine Fire If fire occurring whilst on the ground proceed as follows: Maintain control and use remaining speed to clear people, others ultralights and buildings. Close the throttle.
Page 21: Ultralight De-Rigging Procedure
WARNING DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SPIN THE ULTRALIGHT. SPIRAL DIVES SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED. DURING DESCENDING TURNS ULTRALIGHT ATTITUDE MUST BE KEPT WITHIN PLACARDED PITCH, ROLL AND AIRSPEED LIMITS. 10. ULTRALIGHT DE-RIGGING PROCEDURE Careful attention to the recommended rigging and de-rigging sequences will protect the ultralight from the risk of unnecessary damage.

poor fuel quality. The easiest way to get rid of contaminations noticed during the check-up is to rinse it with petrol or with cleaning spray. NOTE Reducing the fuel flow through the filter could cause intermittent engine running, lack of power. In some cases, this could lead to leaning of the mixture, temperature growth and the engine seizure.
Page 24 If you fly at the costal area or your ultralight has been exposed to salt water dismount it and rinse with tap water thoroughly before storage. If you fly frequently at the costal area it is necessary to wash the ultralight with tap water at least once a month to prevent all aluminum parts from corrosion.
