The two main bolts are located at the center of the spar tunnel. They are accessible between the backrests and can be inserted from the front side. HK 36 R: A locking pin is inserted through both bolt handles, thereby securing them. Other models; A spring loaded hook is placed over the bolt handles to secure the bolts. The A- and B-bolts are fixed to the fuselage at the wing root. The A-bolt is placed in front of the spar tunnel and the B-bolt lies near the trailing edge. The B- bolt locking units are special fasteners with a 17 mm (approxi mately 0.67 in.) hexagon head. They are screwed onto the B-bolts and are accessible through handholes on the upper surface of the wing. Locking rings are integrated in the B- bolt locking units, which therefore do not require any further safetying. The wing folding mechanism is optional equipment. It consists of a telescopic tube in side the wing which is attached to the A-bolt by means of two spring dowel sleeves. Doc. No. Issue Rev.

The components should be cushioned and protected against slippage. The fuselage is transportable standing on all three wheels. It must be prevented from moving forward, rearward or vertically. Ensure sufficient propeller clearance in the trailer to prevent damage due to fuselage movement. If the powered sailplane is equipped with the optional wing folding mechanism, the wings need not be removed completely for road transportation. They remain attached to the fuselage by the telescopic tubes (optional equipment). However, the wing must be supported by a 400 mm ( 1 6 in.) wide and 500 mm (20 in.) high profile cushion under the root rib. This will prevent damage to the telescopic tube and its guide. Another profile cushion should be placed about 4 m ( 1 3 ft.) behind the root rib. The cushion should be at least 300 mm ( 1 2 in.) wide and 350 mm ( 1 4 in.) high. The wings must be prevented from moving rearward. The B-bolt must be padded to prevent damage to the wing skin. Lay the horizontal stabilizer flat on the trailer and tie it down or place it vertically on the leading edge, and secure it using profiles cushioned with felt or cellular rubber. Doc. No. Issue Rev.

The wing outboard ends can be hung from the horizontal stabilizer with the provided support fixtures. The horizontal stabilizer must be supported with the appropriate diagonal struts. The B-bolts must be padded to protect the wing skin from damage. Should the airplane be stored for a prolonged period (e.g. during winter break), it is recommended that profile cushions be placed under the wings as described above. The storage room or hangar should have good air-circulation. 1 .4 CLEANING AND CARE The entire surface of the Powered Sailplane is painted with a white weather proof two component paint. Nevertheless, the airplane should be protected against moisture and dampness. The airplane should not be stored outdoors for extended periods of time. Water that has accumulated must be removed by storing the affected parts in a dry place and turning them over several times. Dirt, insects, etc. can be removed with water and, if necessary, with a mild detergent. An automotive paint cleaner can be used for stubborn spots. For best results, clean the airplane after the day's flying is ended, so that the dirt will not become eng rained. Oil stains, exhaust stains etc. on the fuselage underside can be removed with a cold detergent. Before starting, make sure the detergent does not harm the paint finish. Use commercial automotive preservatives to conserve the paint finish. Canopy and windows should be cleaned with an acrylic glass detergent if available; otherwise use lukewarm water. Final cleaning should be done with a clean piece of doeskin or soft cloth. Never rub or polish dry acrylic glass! Doc. No. Issue Rev.

An arm welded to the torque tube drives a push-rod running rearward under the left seat. The push-rod is connected to a bellcrank behind the main bulkhead. The bellcrank transmits the movement to the air brake pockets by means of two push-rods. Like the ailerons, the air brakes are connected automatically during wing installation. A push-rod runs through the wing from the bellcrank at the root rib to the toggle joint. From here a short rod (called "toggle joint connecting rod", see sketch in Article 2 . 1 . 1 3) runs to the first of two air brake levers which are coupled by means of a pus h-rod. A stop on the toggle joint pedestal limits the overbending of the toggle joint and the extension of the air brakes. The toggle mechanism prevents self-extension of the air brakes. The overbending travel is compensated for by means of seven springs between air brake shield and cover plate. All models except for the HK 36 R are equipped with a spring loaded lever, made of polyamide, which is attached to the rearward transverse stiffener and pressed against the LH air brake lever by means of a spring. When the air brakes are half extended, the air brake lever catches in a groove in the polyamide lever. This device allows the air brakes to be fixed in the half extended position. The forward air brake control system is accessible after removing the seats. The parts behind the main bulkhead can be reached when the baggage compartment floor is removed. In case of airplanes with fuselage mounted fuel tank, the latter must also be removed. The air brake control system in the wing can be viewed when the air brakes are extended. Doc. No. Issue Rev.

The wheel fairings are separate parts and are fastened with four screws. The GFRP-stnut consists of three parts. Diagonal torsion plies form the outer skin. The bending loads are absorbed by caps made of UD cloth, embedded in the outer skin. The shear force is absorbed by two diagonally laminated tubes which also form the center web. Steel mounts are inserted in pockets and fastened with four bolts each on the ends of the strut. The axle is attached to the steel mount with four bolts. It also serves as a wheel fairing support. The steel mounts provide a camber of 1 " ± 1 " and a total toe-in (sum of toe-in on left and right side) of 2" ± 1 ° . The landing gear is connected to the fuselage through two bolts. These bolts go through the landing gear tunnel and the bushes which are bonded into the GFRP strut. In the area around the holes there are additional reinforcing plies. Self-lubricating press-fit collar bushes lie within the bushes. Thus, bending of the gear legs is not d isturbed by the mounting at the fuselage. Spacers prevent play of the landing gear strut in the tunnel. Doc. No. Issue Rev.

A long range tank with a capacity of 79 or 80 liters (20.9 or 2 1 . 1 US gaL) is optional. The tank is mounted between the main bulkhead and the B-bulkhead. It is covered by the floor of the baggage compartment. The filler lies outboard on the left side behind the canopy and is connected to the fuel tank by a rubber hose. The tank vent line runs from the filler through the fuselage underside to the exterior of the airplane. Fuel can be drained off with a drain cup. In the case of the HK 36 R, the hand hole lid in the fuselage underside must be opened first. Since the outlet is placed at the lowest point in the tank, it is possible to remove water that might have deposited. The fuel tank cap is not ventilated. The tank is bonded to all metal parts of the flight control system, the engine and the filler by means of a ground cable. This prevents the build up of electrostatic charges during refueling and thus prevents fuel vapors from igniting. The sensor for the for the electric fuel quantity indicator is built into the upper side of the tank with 5 screws and a gasket. A finger filter, which absorbs coarse impurities, is built into the tank bottom. Doc. No. Issue Rev.

Models with Rotax 9 1 4 F A short hose line runs from the finger filter to the filter box with integrated strainer. A quick release coupling is built into this line. By opening it, a shut-off mechanism stops the outflow of fuel. From the filter box, the fuel reaches the two serially connected fuel pumps. Each fuel pump has a bypass connected in parallel. A check valve in each bypass prevents the fuel from being pumped back into the tank. NOTE In deviation from the description in the Maintenance Manual for Rotax Engine Type 914 F, the integrated filters have been removed from the fuel pumps. Attention should also be paid to this fact during the replacement of fuel pumps. The fuel is carried through a hose line in the center console to the fuel shut-off valve, which is located on the center console near the pilot's feet and is open when it points in the flight direction.

The fuel tank which is selected with the fuel tank selector feeds a central fuel reservoir through gravity feed. From there two electric fuel pumps which are connected in series supply fuel to the engine through the fuel shut-off valve. Wing Tanks The HK 36 TIC-ECO is equipped with two 55 liter (14.5 US gal.) tanks made of GFRP with vinyl ester resin. The usable fuel quantity is 53 liters (14.0 US gal.). The tanks are approximately two meters (approximately 7 ft.) long and are situated in the wings in front of the spar. The inboard edge is near the root rib. A finger filter is installed at this position. From the output port a hose runs through the root rib to the fuel selector valve. When removing the wing, the screwed connection on the tank is opened in order to separate the hose line. Electrical Bonding: The wng tanks are electrically conductive through the use of copper mesh. They are connected to electrical ground using a ground strap. This prevents the build-up of electrostatic charges and thus prevents fuel vapors from igniting. The ground strap has a flat plug connector under the seat shell which is disconnected when removing the wing. Doc. No. Issue Rev.

Drainage: Systems Description Each wing tank has a quick drain device situated on the bottom side of the wing, near the root rib. Draining is perfonmed by pressing in upward direction. Electrical fuel quantity sensors: Two sensors are installed in the bottom side of each wing tank with 5 screws and one gasket. These are accessible after removing the inspection panels. The two sensors of one tank are connected in series. The fuel quantity signal wire has a connector under the seat shell which is separated when removing the wing. NOTE When installing a new fuel quantity sensor it must be inspected for proper resistance values. In the "full' position the electrical resistance must be o to 3 O. The float lever must reach the stop before the float contacts the upper tank wall. In the position in which the float contacts the lower tank wall the resistance must be between 76 and 82 O. Subsequently the fuel quantity indicator of the affected tank must be calibrated. Fuel tank ventilation: see description at the end of this article Fuel selector valve The fuel selector valve is mounted in the center console. When installed, only the pOSitions LEFT and RIGHT are available. The design of the valve would allow to shut off both fuel lines. This is however prevented by stops in the center console.

The engine suction produces a partial vacuum, dependent on the throttle valve position. The vacuum propagates to the vacuum chamber (upper part of the dome). As a result, the differential pressure between the vacuum chamber and the atmosphere increases, and the piston and the attached fuel needle ascend. This d evice provides an almost constant pressure drop and an almost constant velocity of air flow in the Venturi tube.

The standard rechargeable battery has a capacity of 1 8 Amp-hours (optional 30 Amp-hours). The battery has a central ventilating system to allow vapors to be externally vented. The generator is a permanently excited ten-pole single phase alternator. Voltage regulation and rectification are performed by an electronic regulator with a full-wave bridge rectifier, fabricated by Ducati, Rotax Part No. 965345 with connector shell 965335. The battery is separated from the network by means of a battery relay. The cable that runs from the battery to the starter is not protected and is therefore coated with glass fabric in compliance with LN 9251 B standards. This cable must be routed properly to prevent short-circuits. All other wires meet LN 9251 A standards. With the exception of the starter, all electrical consumers are protected with thermal overload breakers or glass fuses. When triggered, the main breaker separates the network from the battery. The generator supplies the electrical network with power via the generator breaker. Doc. No. Issue Rev.

The circuit breaker for the electric fuel pump is located in the center section of the instrument panel. 2.6.4 IGNITION SYSTEM Models with Rotax 9 1 4 F The Powered Sailplane is equipped with two independent electric fuel pumps. The main fuel pump has no switch. It promotes fuel flow as soon as the generator delivers current. The fuel booster pump is dependent on the electrical network and is operated by a switch on the instrument panel. The fuse for the main fuel pump is located in the engine compartment. The circuit breaker for the fuel booster pump is located in the instrument panel (HK 36 TIC-ECO: far right, other models: central section). The engine is equipped with a non-contacting reactor-capacitor dual ignition. To cut off the ignition, the ignition system must be short-circuited. Therefore, it is very important to ensure proper connection between the ignition system and the ignition switch, and in particular proper ground connection of the switch. Doc. No. 3.02.21 WARNING If the ignition system is not short-circuited properly, the ignition is on. When working on the ignition system, the propeller must be secured against moving by hand, otherwise the engine might fire - DANGEROUS TO LIFE! Issue Rev.

The entire wiring complies with aeronautical requirements (LN 9251 and others). These requirements must also be followed in the case of repairs or subsequent installations. As far as possible, crimp connections are used. Soldered connections should used as little as possible. Connectors must have a so-called insulation support (i.e. a copper bush that grips the wire insulation). Only tinned, insulated copper cable sockets are used. A crimped connection has more strength than the wire itself when proper crimping tools are used. It is advisable to use crimping tools with a self-locking mechanism. 2.6.6 CIRCUIT BREAKERS The circuit breakers operate on thenmal overload (bimetal). They have an absorption capacity of 200 A. They cannot be reset unless the reason for the cut-out is eliminated. HK 36 TTC-ECO: Other models: Main breaker (50A) , the generator breaker Located in the right hand section of the (25 A) and breakers for electrical consumers instrument panel are: the main breaker (engine instruments, ATC equipment, fuel (50 A), the generator breaker (HK 36 R: 50 pump, ACL, position lights, landing light, A, other models: 25 A), the breakers for the etc.) are located in the top RH section of the power-plant instruments and the breakers for instrument panel. the air traffic control equipment.
