Pilot Operating Handbook for the C42 Series

5. Handling on Ground

5.1 Maneuver

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 must 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 Suspension

The aircraft may be lifted with a hoist of at least 500 kg (1000 lbs)
capacity by using T-support ceiling hangers.
Use suitable spring snap hooks for the three designated mounting points
on the cabin roof.
