2.5.3 Bank Angle
Do not exceed 60 degrees of bank angle. In roll there is no stop for the control movement. When
performing the pre flight procedure check that the wing moves freely by lowering each wing to within 10
cm of the ground (on ground level).
2.5.4 Flight Load Factor Limits
Max positive maneuvering load factor: 4.0 G.
Negative load factors prohibited.
Load factors below 1.0 G to be avoided.
2.5.5 Operation Limits
The ultralight is only to be flown under visual flight rules (VFR), and the minimum equipment required to
operate under VFR conditions are an Air speed indicator, Altimeter and instruments required by the
engine manufacturer.
Additional equipment may be required for some foreign operations.
2.5.6 Fuel Limitations
Tank capacity 18 liters.
2.5.7 Maximum Occupant Seating Limits
One occupant maximum allowed.
2.5.8 Pilot Weight
The ultralight must only be flown solo. Minimum pilot weight shall not be less than 55 kg. Maximum pilot
weight shall not exceed 108 kg (with full fuel tank). Maximum pilot weight depends on the wing type
installed on the trike and engine.
2.5.9 Other Limitations
Maximum Cross Wind - 2m/s
Maximum Wind Strength - 8m/s
Maximum Ambient Operating Temperature + 35 ...-10 deg C
No person who is untrained or unqualified in weight shift controlled flight or, who is unfamiliar with the
wing and trike combination, should ever attempt to pilot the ultralight.
The effect of light rain on the wing can increase the stall speed. It is extremely important to maintain
speeds in excess of the take off and landing safety speeds when the wing is wet. If the ultralight has
been left out in the rain or heavy dew it is necessary to wipe the wing down prior to take off.
Continued operation in heavy rain is not recommended due to the abrasive effect of raindrops on the
propeller.
CAUTION
MOISTURE ON THE WING CAN INCREASE STALL SPEED AND SHOULD BE REMOVED PRIOR TO TAKE
OFF.
