Ground Handling

5.1 Towing

Manual moving of the aircraft is accomplished by using the tail struts upper
connections as push points. Since there is no tow bar applicable at the nose
gear, you have to press down the tail to raise the nose wheel off the ground.
With the nose wheel clear of ground, the aircraft can be simply steered by
pivoting it on the main wheels.

5.2 Hoisting

The aircraft may be lifted with a hoist of at least 1000 lb (0.5 tons) capacity
by using T-support ceiling hangers.
Use suitable spring snap hooks for the three designated mounting points on
the cabin roof.
