Return the cold air. The acceptable magneto drop is 100 r.p.m. Check the oil pressure is normal and the slow running 6 - 700 r.p.m. Taxying There are no wheel brakes but the steerable tail skid gives very satisfactory steering in most conditions on grass. Use extreme caution on concrete as the tailskid gives no control and the aircraft is heavy and cannot be stopped quickly.
Care is needed to prevent a ground loop after landing on concrete.
Vital Actions Normal pre take off and landing drills should be used. However, there are no trimmers, pitch control, mixture or flap. The fuel gauge tap on the instrument panel should be kept in the off position except then using the gauge as otherwise air could enter the fuel lines and cause an air lock during steep attitudes. The gauge is of little value as slight changes in attitude upset the reading. There is no significant tendency to swing but the stick position on take off and in flight is further forward than on other aircraft.
