Instructions for use Adapting Wings & Trikes The Pixel trike is designed to be used with the single-seater wing iFun 13 and SP version of our production. To install a wing of another brand, check all parameters (height, displacement of the control bar, propeller clearance with keel end) and make sure that there is at least 10cm clearance between the propeller and the wing structure, in all possible angles of attack and angles of bank with the hang point in its most forward position.
Setting & Function of Controls 5.3.1 Throttle The primary throttle control is a foot throttle which is connected to the right foot pedal. This is activated by pressing the foot pedal. The power of the engine increases when you push the top of the right pedal forward. In the XC version, there is also an additional hand throttle which is located on the right side of the instrument panel.
5.4.3 Baggage Storage Luggage can be stored in the following locations: • The bag in front of the pilot, under his legs. Its maximum load is 3 Kg. • The removable bag behind the seat. Its maximum load is 9 Kg. The weight of the baggage shall be taken into account for the calculation of the mass of the aircraft before take-off.
Boarding 5.6.1 General A protective helmet must always be worn, fit correctly and secured. Check that you don’t have any objects that can fall out of your pockets during flight. Ensure articles of clothing, such as gloves, scarves, glasses/sun-glasses, as well as cameras, maps, knee boards, portable navigation instruments etc.
Prior to Take-Off Your ultralight must be in good flight condition, that is to say maintained and used as prescribed by Air Creation. Fasten the belt in the manner of an automobile belt and check for correct engagement. Safety belts should be placed at hip level and tightened correctly. Safety belts fastened at abdominal level may cause internal injury in the event of a violent shock.
To avoid permanent pressure on the right foot throttle, push the hand lever on the right of the control panel until it resists, then release the pedal. To return to pedal control, press the pedal until it resists, then pull back the lever. Checking the fuel level is done by looking in the rear view mirror located on the left side of the landing gear (right in the US).
5.9.3 Restart the engine in flight Activate the electric starter with the key (if installed) or pull the handle of the manual starter placed on the upper beam. Adjust the throttle. Restarting in flight may be hazardous. Keep enough altitude and stay close to a landing field.
The parachute does not change the flight behavior of the aircraft but its weight reduces the useful load by 4 kg (9 lbs). The maximum weight for which the parachute has been tested is 220 kg (489 lbs) at a speed of 130 km / h. 5.10.2 Radio KRT 2 + antenna This option allows the pilot to communicate with the outside environment.
Maintenance Transport Trikes should preferably be transported on light trailers (please consult us for further details). Storage The trike unit should be thoroughly checked and cleaned prior to storage. After cleaning, wipe all components with a clean lightly oiled cloth, while avoiding joints and rubberized parts.
