fabric web. Glass composite sandwich skin: fabric-foam-fabric. Composite rear
web. Root
rib, no intermediate/inner ribs.
AILERON -one piece, 20% ofwing chord, mass balanced, hanged on 5 hinge points
and actuated at 1 point. Glass-fibre structure.
AIR BRAKE- duralumin plates extending on wing upper surface only, with caps
tensioned
to wing contour.
FUSELAGE- monocoque structure, integral with a vertical fin. The central part
comprises the steel truss, to which the wings and undercarriage are mounted.
UNDERCARRIAGE- fixed, no shock absorber, with 0400x140 mm size wheel
equipped with disk brake. Tube pressure 1,5 atm.

seated one, regulated on ground with adjustable back-rest. In-flight adjustable
pedals. Instrument panel supported
on column. Adjustable cockpit venting,
blowing on front portion of canopy
and on pilot face.

TOW RELEASES/ HOOKS -glider is equipped with nose and C.G. tow releases in
one of the following arrangements (ace. to customer choice):
a) both hooks of SZD- 11 1A-56P type, with no self-release mechanism;
b) nose hook TOST E with no self-release, and C. G. hook TOST EUROPA G
with self-release mechanism;
c) nose hook SZD-111 A-56P with no self-release, and C.G. hook TOST EUROPA G
with self-release mechanism.
The kind and model of
C. G. hook is identified in the placard installed in a cockpit.
The releases are accessible from a cockpit: the nose hook -when the
instrument panel and its support column are removed, the
C. G. hook -when the seat
pan
is removed. Both hooks are released by pulling at the common control grip.
After releasing the grip, hooks are closed under the action ofthe return spring.
In winch -launched take-off using the C.G. hook of TOST type with self-
release mechanism, a self-release occurs on reaching the maximum cable release
angle.
PORTABLE EQUIPMENT -assembling lever, screwdriver, wrench for wheel brake
adjustment, canopy canvas cover, back cushion, seat cushion.
