Leaks (fuel, oil, exhaust, hydraulics) 2. Torque of Engine Components (induction, exhaust, cylinder heads cooling radiator) 3. - Page 11 Manual. Transportation The aircraft can be transported on a light trailer made by Apollo to be used by WSC aircrafts for transportation in folded up state. Trike is to be fixed to the trailer by tying it down at the wheels. If the main beam of the trike is bend down use a short support in the place of the nose tube to save the joints of the trike.
- Page 12 Wing Assembly Procedure The following procedural descriptions are not intended to be a substitute for the familiarization procedure of your dealer at the time the wing is delivered. The aircraft is advised to be assembled by two persons, however even one person can setup the wing and the complete aircraft, also, if necessary The set up procedure should be carried out on a clean, not abrasive surface, however if such a surface is not available a canvas or folia can be laid onto the...

- Page 14 6.6.1 Go around the wing and control the next items: Check all self-locking nuts of the nose, the clevis pin and the safety ring which secure the lock of the bottom front wires. Along the left leading edge Carefully check the entire length of the leading edge pocket to insure that the Mylar insert is lying flat in the pocket.
- Page 15 Along the trailing edge, left wing: Check that there are no tears in the sail material along the trailing edge. Check that all battens are properly tied out and stretched. Check that the bluff lines are properly fitted. Check the trailing edge for any cuts, tears or broken stitching From the rear keel Check that the sweep back wires are tight and secured on the hook on the keel tube.
- Page 16 At the keel: Check the crossbar center plates assembly including the sweep wire/X-bar junction and the center bolt. Also, visually inspect the crossbars by sighting along the length of the crossbars looking for any evidence of damage. Check all bolts, nuts and the safety rings, which secure the downtubes to the channel.
- Page 17 Test the right landing gear, its supporting strut and the telescope, together with the polyester cowling. No cracking in tire treads, or evidence of cracking around the rim. Wheels are secured. Check the pressure of the tire by considering its flattening on the ground.
- Page 18 6.6.5 Ignition Check Before the flight an ignition check is to be completed Turn the aircraft directly in front of the wind and sit into the seat. The propeller wind may disturb nobody. Either brake blocks are to be placed before the wheels or assistants are to be asked to hold the aircrafts to prevent any forward movement of it.
- Page 19 Set the trim device to the required position. Remove the safety lock from the parachute Control the free movability of the control bar and the brake handles. Set the altimeter to zero. Control and adjust all other instruments. Set the choke. Turn the main switch on.
- Page 20 6.7.3 Climbing Climb with the speed belonging to the optimum climb provided the weather is optimal, also In turbulent, gusty wind climb with a bigger speed. Very steep climbs are dangerous and can result in a stall followed by a severe pitching of the nose forward, should the motor stop.
- Page 21 6.7.6 Stalling In practice, in level flight it is only possible to induce a nose down stall at high take off weights. Moving it slowly the control bar can be pushed ahead until it reaches the nose tube. The beginning of stall is indicated by a significant increase in control bar loads.
- Page 22 6.7.9 Landing Landing should always be into wind with a long straight approach. A descending approach to the airstrip can be made with or without power, but in either 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 (see: 5.4.1) with the control bar in.

Apply parking brake and lock Document the flight time if already not done. The ultralight should be parked in a crosswind position. The rescue system safety pin should be inserted before leaving the ultralight.
- Page 24 Concerning Apollo C15 DD - Delta Jet 2 – 912 WSC aircraft type there are several methods to complete a partial dismantling. 1. If hangaring is planned but the room in the hangar is small the wing can be folded up without dismantling it from the trike.

are removed. Then the wing is to be removed from the trike (safety hook, universal joint bolts), the trike is to be pushed out from below the wing, and the wing stands on the A- frame. Remove the struts, roll up the sail and fix it with the Velcro strips, then the sack of the wing is to be pulled onto the rolled wing pack Turn the wing backwards, the A-frame looks now upwards. - Page 26 This condition is especially valid to the Apollo C15 DD - Delta Jet 2 – R 912 WSC aircraft type. However as the phenomenon is well known in connection with reciprocating engines and as such a...

- Page 28 Forced landing If to continue the flight is more dangerous than landing a forced landing is to be made. If a field prepared for WSC landings or an airport can be reached the forced landing can be carried out according to normal procedures. When a decision to land is to be made in a point from which no airport can be reached the pilot is to follow the procedure prescribed for normal landing, that is: Select the point of the intended touch down in flight,...

Page 29: Operational Limitations
Operational limitations General limitations The WSC aircraft of type Apollo C15 DD - Delta Jet 2 - R912 can be applied to sporting, training and commercial flying as well. It can be flown both, by one or two persons. Besides the rules in this manual these applications are to be fitted to the regulations of the country of operation. - Page 30 The use of BRS system is proposed but is not obligatory! Prohibited are: Flying in icing weather conditions Generating an intentional stall Doing any kind of aerobatics Driving the aircraft with rude control movements over V Using naked flame in the trike and within a circuit of 25 meters and smoking 8.2.
- Page 31 A WSC aircraft under no supervision is to be fixed to the ground. To leave the ignition switch in ON position is prohibited! It is not allowed to touch a WSC aircraft or to turn the propeller even if under supervision! To stay in the plane of the rotation of the propeller or in the danger zone of it is prohibited!

After this inspection only Apollo has the right to elongate the flying time of the aircraft. The elongation maximum is 400 hours or 4 years. When this elongation is getting exceeded another overhaul is to be executed.
