Description
In this charter the aircraft is described in all its parts:
FUSELAGE
THE FUSELAGE consists of a cockpit of composite materials with a self-support
Ting shell structure. The cockpit shell contains five transverse frames of composite materials, which
guarantee the rigidity of the structure and high degree of safety and reliability.
The central transverse frame crosses the whole cockpit section and bears the loads of the aircraft
both during flight and on the ground. To it is connected
The tail trunk consisting of a metal tubular beam of the same type as used on the wing. A fireproof
bulkhead, on the edge of which is also fastened the metal engine-support frame, which also supports
the front wheel, closes the front area of the cockpit.
The cockpit ceiling is crossed by a welded-tube frame, which allows good upward visibility without
affecting the structural compactness. The undercarriage is fastened to the belly of the fuselage
through a welded tube structure and the bending element consists of two milled bars of light alloy.
LANDING GEAR
The landing gear has a fixed tricycle configuration where the main part is mounted on two
Self-suspension high resistance aluminum entering of the lower part of the fuselage, fixed
inside connected by tube. The front part is a light metal suspension fork independent and
pivoting directionally intended by the pilot on ground movement, 30° L-R from his
centerline.
The wheels are covered by aerodynamic fairings, easy to remove.
In case of using the airplane without these fairings you must beware of decreasing
seriously the performance of the airplane.
BRAKES
A central system is related to a brake, which act on both wheels.
FLIGHT AND ENGINE INSTRUMENTS
The flight instruments are mounted at the front panel at the pilot’s convenience right or left.
The engine instruments on the opposite side.
The serial mounted instruments are:
Engine instruments: rpm counter, cylinder. head temp., exhaust gas temp., oil temp., oil
press.,
Fuel press., hour counter, fuel low level lamp.
Flight instruments: speed indicator, altimeter, variometer, magnetic compass, slip
indicator.
