Options

The standard empty weight used as reference to calculate the empty weight of the trike

does not include the options stated hereafter. Thus it is necessary to subtract from the

payload, detailed in particular wing's Pilot Operating handbook, the weight of each

option installed.

5.10.1

Parachute

The Skypper can be equipped with a pyrotechnic rocket parachute, inside the special

container placed under the passenger seat.

The parachute will slow the descent of both aircraft and occupants if a major problem

occurs (collision, flight envelope exceeded, etc.). It is advised to use it only as last

resort to save life or prevent injury.

Before starting the engine, the safety cotter pin placed on the launching handle should be removed.

Then it should be replaced after landing, before disembarking, to avoid unintentional firing. It is

recommended to link the engine key with the safety cotter pin, so its removal while using the trike

cannot be forgotten.

Before firing the parachute the engine must be switched off to avoid damaging the main bridle

with the rotating propeller.

The activating of the rocket motor is made by pulling the red handle located under the control

panel or with the help of the handle located on the left of the rear seat, if it is installed.

A strong pull on the handle is needed, at maximum available length.

Always inspect bridle connection points and activation cables before flying; do not

modify them. When rigging the wing, bridles must be fixed with the link shackle.

The recommendations concerning inspection, activation and unloading of the

rocket, maintenance periods and overall care are stated in the user's manual

provided with the parachute.

The parachute does not change the flight behavior of the aircraft but its weight reduces

the payload by 27 lbs (12 kg).

5.10.2

Dual Control for Instruction

This option allows for control of the ground steering and the engine power from the rear

seat. It allows full control from the rear seat of the aircraft.

Its weight reduces the payload of the SKYPPER trike by 2.20 lbs (1 kg).

5.10.3

Skis

This option allows use of the trike on packed snow after removing the wheels. The whole

series of wings supports this option.

The additional weight is up to 21 lbs (9.5 kg) and reduces the payload of the trike by the

same amount.
