Aerotechnik EV-97 team Eurostar (Issue2 January 2011)
Introduction,
These instructions follow the exact sequence used by Light Sport Aviation
when building type approved aircraft and have proven to be a logical and
efficient sequence with the facilities we have, individual kit builders may wish
to adjust the sequence to suit their personal requirements/facilities.
We have tried to be specific with these instructions and have included many
drawings/photos, but if something does not make sense please phone us and
ask (input about these instructions will be gratefully received).
Before starting the assembly of your Eurostar please contact the LAA (Light
Aircraft Association) and register your build. An inspection of the kit and your
workshop is required by a LAA inspector before work commences.
General notes
Aerotechnik use bolts to an East European aircraft standard which have
several features that the builder should be aware of.
The bolt shanks are ground to close tolerances and have no corrosion
protection; consequently all such bolts should be assembled with Castrol LM
grease or similar, whatever the application.
There is a sharp undercut at the shank where it joins the thread, this means
that full bearing area can be obtained even in thin sheet components,
provided attention is paid to bolt length, washer thickness and position.
It is possible when assembling, for a washer to get trapped in the undercut
between the nut and the sharp end of the shank if the shank protrudes
beyond the surface of the component being bolted. Care must be taken to
avoid this situation as it can lead to loss of clamping force. These instructions
detail the part number and position of washers which will give the correct fit to
the bolt /assembly. Washers of different thickness are used at specific
locations to give the correct fitting of the bolts and ensure the shank bears
correctly.
Rivnuts are used in a number of locations on the aircraft. A tool for installing
these can be either purchased from an aircraft tool supplier or Light Sport
have one that can be lent to you. If you do purchase or borrow one make sure
it is the metric version.
Emfimastic is widely used on theEurostar, this is a multi purpose non-rigid
compound which is used as a sealant, an adhesive and a jointing compound
or gap filler. Use Emfimastic sparingly so as not to add unnecessary weight.
Emfimastic can be smoothed with a finger wetted in washing up liquid. To
remove Emfimastic when it is still wet we have found methylated spirit to be
the safest, once dry acetone can be used to remove it but do not use acetone
on any of the canopy transparencies or on any painted surfaces. It can be
made easier to remove using a bit of heat from a hot air gun (caution as
getting the aluminium too hot will crack the anodising).If Cleco’s are used
when assembling a joint using Emfimastic, clean the Cleco’s immediately after
use before the Emfimastic dries.
2
The control rod end bearings and the bearings used on the rudder hinge may
be of the type where the spherical bearing is inserted through a loading slot
into the housing. In such rod ends the bearing is not positively retained until
assembly and can fall out. It is good practice to put a piece of locking wire
through the rod end eye if there is a chance of the bearing coming out, if, for
instance the wings and / or tailplane are removed for transport.
There are many lock nuts on the aircraft, for instance on control rod end
fittings and control stops. These should be painted with a red line (either a
commercially available “anti tamper” paint or red nail varnish) across a fixed
point to make later inspection for loose nuts easier. We tend to mark all
nuts/bolts with a red line as a final check mark out of habit.
The aircraft is mainly constructed using “pop” rivets and to prevent water
getting onto the steel pin inside the rivet, each rivet requires filling with
Emfimastic. We fill every rivet we can get to, some require filling before being
made inaccessible by the fitting of other components, for example the fin spar
rivets require filling before fitting the rudder.
We use a syringe to fill the rivet head and then wipe off any excess with a
cloth (see pictures below)

The aircraft we built and photographed for these instructions had all of the
composite components painted silver, we painted the interior, floor and
instrument coaming matt black before assembly began. You may wish to do
this if like us you intend to leave the aluminium un-painted. If you are
intending to paint the whole aircraft carefully consider the build sequence so
as to fit the painting in at the correct point.

Modifications.
The LAA have required five modifications to be installed at the factory to
comply with UK requirements. These are:LAA 315-001. An additional support for the long aileron push rod at rib 5.
LAA 315-002. An additional bracket similar to the one supporting the flap torque
tube centre bearing to give better support to the elevator reverse
lever mounting.
LAA 315-003. Two additional stiffeners on the fin leading edge skin.
LAA 315-004. Improved outer lap strap attachment with spacer tube and large
washer.
E4 01-2201. Shortened control sticks.
Your inspector should check that Aerotechnik has incorporated the first three,
and that the parts have been supplied correctly for the builder to comply with
the last two.
Light Sport Aviation issue service bulletins from time to time and a copy of all
existing bulletins and any necessary components are included with the kit.
At January 2011 the following have been issued.
SB EV97-UK-01 Loctite on flap lever nut (applicable only to existing aircraft without
two tab washers).
SB EV97-UK-02 Loctite on throttle control screw (applicable to all aircraft during build
and retrospective).
SB EV97-UK-03 Vent hole in fuel filler cap (Existing aircraft without separate drain
and vent).
SB EV97-UK-04 longer rivets in bearing brackets (applicable to all aircraft during
build and retrospective).
SB EV97-UK-05 Loctite on fuel taps (applicable to all aircraft during build and
retrospective).
SB EV97-UK-06 Insulation of exposed terminals (applicable to all aircraft during build
and retrospective).
SB EV97-UK-07 Coolant overflow bottle (applicable to all aircraft during build and
retrospective).
SB EV97-UK-08 Trim cable clevis pin retainer (applicable to all aircraft during build
and retrospective).
SB EV97-UK-09 Possible corrosion of pitch trim cables (applicable to all aircraft)
SB EV97-UK-10 Inspection of top rudder bearing (applicable to all aircraft)
SB EV97-UK-11 (MPD 2010-003)
Checking the strength of the lower wing spar caps. (applicable to all aircraft)
This will have been carried out before you received your kit and a declaration
of conformity supplied
Rotax mods and bulletins are promulgated via a variety of instructions. All
new engines are delivered to the latest standard and all known owners are
sent mandatory bulletins via Email when Rotax issues them. All bulletins can
be accessed from the Rotax website, www.rotax-aircraft-engines.com. There
are two instructions/bulletins that apply to all engines when new and
throughout their life.
SI-912-018 Purging of lubrication system.
SI-912-016 R2 Selection of suitable operating fluids.
Copies of these or later revisions are included with the engine paperwork, or
can be found in the engine installation instructions (on the CD supplied with
the engine).

Inventory check
The inventory check is an important early task because any kit shortages
should be notified to Light Sport within six weeks of kit receipt .It is also useful
in getting the builder familiar with the bag and part numbering system and the
parts themselves.
DO NOT EMPTY ALL THE PARTS FROM THE NUMBERED BAGS!
Always during the build remove the required parts from the numbered bags,
replace any parts not required back into the bag and re-seal it, or alternately
use numbered boxes
Build sequence
As stated earlier the following is the build sequence we use at Light Sport
when assembling the type approved aircraft and using pre-painted
composites and cockpit interior. This sequence may need to be altered to suit
individual builders preferences and/or if the builder intends to paint the whole
aircraft. A set of engineering drawings is included in every kit and can be
referred to if necessary.
Before starting work remove from the fuselage, the scuttle panel, canopy, rear
luggage bay floor, seat pans (all of these have been temporarily fitted for
transport).
We think it easier to work on the fuselage with it just off of the ground; the
polystyrene blocks used in the wing box as packaging are ideal to place under
the main spar carry through and under the tail, however, if you prefer to work
with the fuselage at a higher level lifting it onto suitable trestles and fitting the
undercarriage first may suit.
Inspections
Three stage inspections are identified i.e. points where a visit by your LAA
inspector is essential. This is a a minimum and individual inspectors may wish
to visit more often, discuss this with your inspector before you commence the
build.
1st inspection. Inspection of kit as supplied, inclusion of LAA mods and
inspection of workshop facilities.
2nd inspection. Inspection of all systems etc before closing in with rear side
panels and seat pans etc.
3rd inspection. Final inspection before application to the LAA for flight test
authorisation. The aircraft should be fully assembled and ready for flight but
with all inspection covers removed. The aircraft will be weighed and a weight
and CG report completed. The engine should be run, carburettors balanced
and idle speed set, fuel flow checks will be carried out. In addition to the LAA
paperwork the Skydrive checklist should be completed.
5
First job is to trim the excess from the top of the fin skin, mask off and trim as
shown in the picture below.
Use a Dremel or similar tool fitted with a cutting disc to cut the excess
from the top of the fin front skin fin.
6
Mark out and drill 3.2mm the holes for riveting the fin top fairing on. Holes
should follow the line of the existing rivets and be 10 mm from the edge.

Set the position of the top rudder hinge as diagram and photos below, apply
loctite 648 on the threads before doing up the plain nut and then bend lock tab
to secure as in the drawing below. NOTE a recent change of the position of
the locktab to between the plain nut and the fin spar with the long tab bent
forward into recess in spar and onto the stiffnut and the two triangular pieces
bent up to secure the plain nut.

Fit the rudder onto its two hinges; make sure it is fully seated into the lower
hinge. The fin top fairing 8515 (bag No2) can now be positioned (it fits inside
the fin skin) once you are happy with the alignment drill and cleco into place.
Remove the rudder (this may require removal of the clecoed on fairing). The
rear edge of the fairing will need trimming to match the edge of the fin spar
and to allow the rudder to be removed and re-fitted and requires three more
holes 3.2 mm, 10 mm in from the edge, drilled each side to rivet the fairing to
the fin spar.
Remove the fin top fairing and de-burr the holes. Apply emfimastic to the
contact surfaces and rivet the fairing in place using 3.2 X 7.9 rivet 6472 (bag
No 2), clean off any excess emfimastic.
Now is a good time to fill all the rivet heads in the fin spar, the fin and the
rudder.

Tailplane Rivnuts. (Bag 24)
Remove orange transport bracket from rear fuselage, temporarily fit tailplane
using the two plain nuts from the transport bracket.
Mark positions of holes as illustrated below, drill 3.2 mm and cleco fairing to
tailplane, push and hold the fairing inwards towards fin/fuselage to get a nice
fit before drilling.

tool fit rivnuts 6980 (bag No24) into the tailplane skin, apply a little loctite 648
to the outside of the rivnut before fitting. Open the holes in the tailplane fairing
to 4mm diameter.Now is a good time to fill all the tailplane rivets with
Emfimastic.
11
Upper and lower trim cable guide tubes. (Bag 37)
Drill through the hole in the lower rudder pivot-bearing bracket and through
the rear spar in between the two rivets 6mm diameter, open this up to 8mm
diameter and de-burr the holes. Cut a piece of tube 8483 (bag no 37) 50mm
long and push it into the holes so it protrudes a couple of mm beyond the
rudder bearing bracket, secure in place with a bead of Emfimastic.
It is useful at this point to glue the remaining piece of tube 8483 to the rear of
one of the long elevator pushrods (rod 8687) with Emfimastic; it should be
positioned on the side of the pushrod. Hold in place with a couple of cable
ties.

make sure they route on top of the fin lower rib.
Connect the cables to the rudder as per pictures below; note the position of
the two 6mm washers (6813) on top of the cable termination, these are to
prevent the cable termination rubbing on the fin.

Using the stop plates (shim 8414) mark the positions of the slots for the
rudder cables to pass through the two vertical stiffeners above the main spar.
Note the plates have offset slots in them and the slots in the rear stiffeners
has to be higher than the front ones, this is because the rudder cables run
downwards through the nylon blocks (8471 & 8470) towards the rudder
pedals. Drill the marked slots and using a needle file open to the required
size.
Fit stop plates (8414), nylon stop blocks (8471 & 8470) using bolts 6 X 35
(47334) and nuts (3089), the bolts should be fitted with the heads forward.

Fuel filler neck (Bag 46) Align the cast aluminium filler neck housing
(30625) from inside the fuselage, this needs to be as high and as far back as
it can go (touching both the top longeron and the side stiffener). From the
inside drill 3.2mm through the pre drilled holes in the casting and through the
fuselage side skin, use clecos to hold in place (a hole dinder can be used if
your drill is too big to drill all the holes).
ADDITIONAL FLAT CUT OFF OF
HOUSING IS NOT NECESSARY
With the housing removed make a template using masking tape for cutting the
hole in the fuselage side skin to suit the housing. We use a dremel and a
cutting disk, finishing with a flap wheel and fine emery paper. De-burr all
holes, apply emfimastic and rivet housing in place using 3.2 X 7.9 rivets

against the centre bearing, slide lever (8451) up against the inner face of the
right hand inner web (the one with the bearing block on the other side). The
lateral position of this lever is what sets the end float of the flap torque tube,
ideal is 1 mm. Whilst holding everything in position drill through the pre drilled
hole in the lever into the torque tube but not all the way through (a long series
4mm drill is ideal for this). Put a couple of marks to show the orientation of
lever to torque tube and then remove them from the aircraft.Re-assemble the
lever onto the torque tube and using a pillar drill and suitable blocks drill
through 4mm and then open up to 5.8mm and ream to 6mm.

lock tabs (8528) and nut (3062). Light Sport SB EV97-UK-01 is applicable to
this area but only to aircraft built with a lock tab only on one side. For extra
safety it is worth putting a little loctite 221 on the bolt. Once secure the lock
tabs can be bent over (cut the long tang of the lock tabs to prevent them
fouling on the ball joint). Using bolt 6 X 23 (62369) attach the flap torque tube

Pushrods and levers. (Bag No 35 and loose parts)
Short pushrod (8686) needs to be set to 723 mm to rose joint centres and the
locknuts tightened, apply red paint across the lock nuts to make future
inspection easier. Fit bearings (9052) into the elevator two armed lever pivot
brackets (these fit from the inside and should have loctite 648 applied to
them). Assemble pushrod (8686) to the bottom of two armed lever (note
orientation of bolt), insert rod / lever assembly in through holes in main spar
and undercarriage cross member. Fit lever onto bearings as pictured below.
Note bolt (2847), whish is fitted from right to left, cannot be fully tightened or it
will prevent free movement of the arm. Grease all moving parts on assembly.

Fit elevator single arm lever (E4 01-19 01) at position midway along rear
fuselage, again this should only be tightened enough to remove any play but
still allow free movement of the arm. Adjust pushrod (8687), the one without
the guide tube glued to it, to 1486 mm and tighten the lock nut, fit this as
shown below (the adjustable end goes forward onto the two-armed lever).We
grind 1mm off of the end of screw 6 X 21 (2833) to give better clearance
between it and the upright. Now fit the second long pushrod (the one with the
guide tube glued to it) fit it with the guide tube on the left. The length of this
will be set when the control deflections are set so the lock nut can be left
loose.

Control stick and cross tube. (Bag No 35 and loose parts)
Set control rod (8734) the same length as the distance between the control
stick pivots in the control lever body/ cross tube (8685). The easiest way to do
this is to use two bolts through the pushrod ends and adjust the rod until it fits
exactly to the control body.

Assemble one control stick to pushrods and then insert it into the control stick
housing passing it in far enough to be able to assemble the opposite side. The
short pushrod (8688) should have the inner (8mm threaded) rose joint wound
all the way in and then undone ½ a turn and locked with nut. Leave the outer
rose joints loose at this time. Note the sticks are assembled so they angle
towards the pilot and are assembled into the control lever body with the
connection on the body for the elevator pushrod to the left (as viewed from the
rear) see drawing below.

Check the fit of bearing blocks (9696) on the control lever body, they may
need a little re-working to achieve a free rotating fit. When a good fit has been
achieved the hand control assembly can be fitted into the fuselage using the
bearing blocks and bolts as below. Once the bearing blocks are tightened up
re-check for free movement (sometimes a tap with a hammer helps to “settle”
things in. Connect the elevator pushrod to the lever under the control body.

Feed the outer cable (3558) in from the rear of the fuselage, one end in
through the guide tube in the fin spar, through a cable tie around the front left
hand tail plane support bracket then down and along the lower fuselage
stiffener, passing through the holes in the cross members, through one of the
grommets in the cockpit rear bulkhead, over the top of the flap torque tube,
through the rear spar cross member and onto the top end fitting fitted earlier.
The other end of the outer cable should be fed through the guide tube on the
elevator push rod, along the pushrod (loosely secure with a couple of cable
ties) and then, aft of the elevator single armed lever, it drops down and follows
the other cable forward and on to the lower end fitting. With both cables
seated in the front end fittings work backwards securing the outer cables with
cable tie (13392).

tank fully forward and as far to the port side as possible, this makes fitting the
filler pipe esaier.Fit filler pipe (5205) along with clamps (3496) onto the tank
filler neck, now push the tank as far to the starboard side as possible to bring
the filler pipe up against the filler assemblt on the fuselage side. Re-fit the filler
neck sliding it into the filler pipe (do not tighten the hose clamps yet). Fit bolts
6 X 20 (11557) with washers (6813) through holes in tank support brackets
with the thread facing outwards. Fit nicopress sleeve (8256) and a short piece

hole to 8MM and temporarily fit bolt (6814). Repeat for the front hole and then
remove the leg, de-burr the holes and vacuum out any swarf. The leg can now
be fitted using bolts (9616), washers (6814) and nuts (7810). We find the
easiest way of fitting the nuts underneath the inner leg attachment is to super
glue the washer to the nut then using the ring end of a 13mm combination
spanner it can be positioned and tightened. The outer leg attachment (plate
9604) can now be tightened, tighten nuts (3071) to evenly clamp the leg and
create a 1mm bow in the plate. Secure the nuts with split pin (37002). Finally
tighten pin (61177) and secure with lockwire. Repeat for other side and then
glue Gap seal (14464) over the hole in the fuselage floor. Seal around the
remainder of the leg with Emfimastic

Whilst you have the Emfimastic out it is a good time to mount the wing root
lower fairing brackets. On the underside of the fuselage just aft of the flap
torque tube is an area with no rivets, position the brackets (12751) bag 17,
mark for 3 X 3.2 mm holes to follow the rivet pattern already there. Drill the
brackets, position on fuselage, drill and cleco in place. Remove the brackets,
de-burr holes and apply Emfimastic to the contact area. Rivet in place using
the six 3.2 X7.9 rivets (6472) from bag No 17.

Main wheels and brake assemblies (bag 42)
The main wheels come already assembled with the brake disc and calliper on
them. They may be only loosely assembled and the lock tabs not bent over.
We prefer to disassemble the disc from the wheel so to be able to grease the
brake pad pins. Don’t lose the spacer tube between the brake calliper plate
and the wheel bearing when the temporary lockwire is removed. If the lock
tabs have not been bent over the long tag will need cutting shorter to prevent
it digging into the tyre when it is bent over the wheel rim. Alternately you can
just check that the bolts securing the disc to the wheel is tight and secured
with a lock tab and then apply grease to the two pins which secure the brake
pads (use a small screwdriver to spread the grease on the pins).
Grease the wheel axles and the brake calliper mounting plate anti rotation
pins and slide the wheel onto the axle, check that the calliper anti rotation
plate fully engages on it’s pins and then secure with washer (7744), nut
(36555) and split pin (51879). A different nut is used if wheel spats are to be
fitted and this is detailed in the drawing with the wheel spat kit.

Cowling fasteners (Bag no 63)
As the cowling has been pre fitted at the factory and pilot holes made, the
fitting of the fasteners to both the cowling and the firewall flange can be done
without the need for the engine to be fitted. This also means that ant swarf
created during this procedure will not get into places and components you
don’t want it to.
Open the holes around the firewall flange to 3.2 mm and cleco in place the 10
plate nuts for securing the lower cowling (4 down each side and one each
side in the brackets at the bottom of the firewall). Drill through the fixing holes
in the nut plates 3.2 mm and then remove the nut plates. Now drill the centre
hole of each fixing point to 4mm, countersink the two outer holes of each
fixing point. Using rivets 3.2 X 9.5 (6796) fix the nut plates to the inner edge of
the firewall flange.

mark the position from inside the cowlings for the receptacle securing rivets.
Remove the camlocks and separate the two cowling halves. Using M4 screws

this operation can be found in bag No 65.
Assemble the holders 9948 (top) and 9949 (bottom) to the radiator as shown

side without the starboard side header tank showing in the cowling opening.
Once the holders are in the correct place tighten the bolts and secure with
lock wire. Glue rubber pad (43287) to the holders at each screw fitting
location.

the position of the scoop, as the radiator has to be offset for clearance of
coolant pipes the scoop should also offset to bring it back to centre reference
to the cowling aperture.

Using screw M4 X 16 (51656) and plastic washer 3.7 (56125) secure the
assembly to the cowling. The cowling can now be removed from the fuselage.
Glue leatherette strip (6698) around the firewall flange and cut holes where it
covers the fastening holes.
Nose leg and wheel (Bag No 40)
The nose leg lower bearing is loosely attached to the lower firewall and has
the bearing already glued into it. It is worth having a trial assembly of the leg
into the bearings to make sure it moves freely, use some plain M6 nuts on the
bolts during this trial assembly. Once happy with the fit the leg can be finally
fitted with the rubber stop (12134) in the top of the leg and the lower bearing
assembly can be tightened using the supplied stiff nuts. Grease the bearing
surfaces before fitting.

The nose leg gaiter (14345) is a little too long as supplied in the kit so we cut
three “ridges” off from the top of it. Lubricate the leg/gaiterwith WD40 or
similar and slide the gaiter up from the bottom. Be careful not to split the
gaiter stretching it over the bracket for the nose wheel spat. Evektor supply
clamp (3494) to secure the gaitet to the leg but we prefer to use cable tie

The holes for the centre rudder pedal bearing fixings now need to be marked
and drilled. To do this first put masking tape along the two centre rivet lines
and mark a centre line for each pedal attachment, this line will be the centre
line for the pedal bearings and for the rivets in the two doubler plates. Fit the
rudder pedals , right hand pedal (11104) left hand pedal (11078) to the
installed outer bearings and install the inner bearings to their other ends.
Check that both ends are fully seated on the bearings and check the centre
line marked can be seen through the holes in the inner attachment. We have
to sometimes shorten the right hand pedal cross tube to get these to align, if
this is the case cut only from the inner end. Set the pedals so the cross tubes
connecting the rudder pedals are parallel to the firewall i.e.inner and outer
pivot points same distance from firewall, mark and drill 5 MM diameter for the
pedal fixing bolts.

Rudder cable finishing
With the rudder pedals still locked loop the rudder cables around the split
eyes already fitted to the rudder pedals with the cable free end uppermost,
using a couple of ratchet straps and a spring balance attached to the free
ends and around the main spar pull equally on each cable to achieve the
required 25KG preload. Adjust each ratchet strap to centre the rudder whilst
maintaining 25KG (picture 1 & 2). When satisfied that all is correct slide the
nicopress sleeves up against the split eyes and mark across the cable and
free end where it exits the free end with a permanent marker (picture 3). Undo
the retaining nut remove the cables from the pedals, slide the nicopress
sleeve up to the split eye and align the marks and crimp the sleeve with the
correct tool. There are three crimps per sleeve and it is best to do the one
nearest the split eye first and work back (picture 4 & 5). Use a gauge to check
for satisfactory crimping (picture 6). Cut off the free end with about 10 mm
protruding from the sleeve, wrap a piece of fabric tape around the cable and
slide the already fitted heat shrink tube over and shrink (picture 7).

Rudder stops
Before carrying out this step the rudder circuit should be completely
assembled and have the correct tension (25 KG). Deflect the rudder to the left
32°, check that the adjustable stops are set in the middle of their range and
position the rear left and front right adjustable stops against the stop plates.
Position the nicopress sleeves against the adjustable stops and carefully
insert the short lengths of cable (15683 Bag No 51) into the sleeves. Whilst
holding everything in position crimp the nicopress sleeves using the correct
tool. Repeat the procedure for the other stops and with the rudder set at 32°
to the right. Slide the pieces of heat shrink sleeve over all four nicopress
sleeves and over the first part of the adjustable stops, shrink this in place to
retain the stops against the nicopress sleeves. Fine adjustment of the rudder
deflections can now be made before locking the adjusters, deflections should
be 30°± 2°, we find that closer to the 32° gives a better turning circle on the
ground. Drill a 2.5 mm hole to secure the front guide tube to the vertical
fuselage stiffener with a small cable tie (13393 Bag No 40). Tighten and
secure with split pin (10894 bag No 40) the nuts holding the steering rods to
the rudder pedals. Cable tie the steering rod gaiters to the rods (we cut a little
off of these as we felt they were too long).

spiral (8543) where it routes around the outer pedal pivot; connect the other
end of the pipe to the brake calliper. Using two of cable tie (9754) secure the
pipe to the rear of the undercarriage leg. Mark the positions of the rivnuts on
the fuselage sides for securing the pipes and drill 6mm diameter. The photos
below show the locations of the Rivnuts. Fit rivnuts (6980) and secure pipes
with “P” clip (57092), screw M4 X 12 (51655) and washer (6812), wrap a
piece of fabric tape around the pipe at each location and fit a piece of

Bleeding the brake system
The brake system on the EV97 can be bled one of two ways; either gravity
bled or using a syringe, pumped up from the calliper to the master cylinder.
Gravity bleeding
Unscrew the cap from the top of the cylinder to be bled and fill it with
automotive (dot 4) brake fluid, place a tray under the associated calliper and
loosen the bleed nipple. Fluid should gently run through under the force of
gravity, keep topping up the master cylinder (do not let it become empty)
Once fluid is seen to be exiting the bleed nipple without any air bubbles in it
close the nipple and check the pedal is free from sponginess (repeat if
necessary). Top up the master cylinder until the fluid is just level with the step
in the outer cylinder wall and re-fit the top cap. Finally clean of any spilt brake
fluid.
Bleeding using syringe
This is by far the best and quickest way to bleed the brakes, you will need a
medium sized syringe and a piece of tubing that fits snugly on both the
syringe and the bleed nipple.
Wrap a piece of rag around the master cylinder to be bled to catch any fluid
spills and unscrew the cap from the top of it. Fill the syringe with brake fluid
and attach using a suitable length of tube to the appropriate calliper bleed
nipple. Undo the bleed nipple approx ½ a turn and gently squeeze the syringe
to push the fluid up from the calliper to the master cylinder, keep an eye on
the master cylinder to make sure it does not overflow. When the fluid level in
the master cylinder reaches the step on the outer cylinder wall stop and
tighten the bleed nipple.
Re-fit the top cap to the master cylinder and check the pedal feels firm and
not spongy. Clean off any spilt brake fluid.

build.
Once the above inspection is complete and your inspector is happy for you to
do so you can fit the rear turtle deck. Before fitting the panel though, put a few
drops of oil on all of the control linkages and have a good vacuum around.

Installing engine
Before installing the engine, remove the carburettors, the transport brackets
and the top R/H M10 bolt. Disconnect the lower coolant hoses from the water
pump and turn the main inlet to face towards cylinders 1 and 3. The
waterpump outlet pipes may need rotating to give better clearance between
the engine frame and the coolant hoses, if this is necessary use a hot air gun
to soften the loctite holding the pipes and be very careful not to damage the
very soft aluminium tubes (we use a 3/8” socket extension bar inserted into
the tubes). Fit a 600 MM long piece of oil hose on to the oil return outlet on
the bottom of the crankcase using the supplied clamp, leave this outlet facing
forward at this point (this will be turned to suit after fitting of the engine).Use a
webbing strap around the inlet manifolds and lift the engine using a suitable
hoist.

The panel is supplied without the holes for instruments cut; a cutting plan is
supplied by Light Sport, which shows the layout of instruments, switches,
throttle and choke controls. The builder can either follow this cutting plan or
design their own layout. It is, however, recommended that the throttle and
choke controls are mounted as shown. The panel is secured to the aircraft by
means of Rivnuts in the cross member and around the instrument panel
coaming (these may have already been fitted at the factory). Align the panel
to the coaming and level with the cross member, drill through the pre drilled
holes in the panel into the cross member and coaming. Remove the panel
and open the holes in the cross member and composite coaming up to
6mmØ. Fit Rivnuts (6980) placing washer (13940) behind the composite
coaming to support the Rivnuts.

Cut two lengths of outer cable (3558), one 770 mm long to run to the left hand
carburettor and one 1000 mm long for the right hand carburettor. Slide the
outer cables over their respective inner cables, through the grommets in the
firewall and into the recesses in the throttle slider. Fit two “grommets” from the
Light Sport supplementary throttle kit over the end of each outer cable
followed by end cap (3551) and connect them to the carburettors. With the
throttle slider set at idle (pulled fully out) set the cables so the levers are both
just touching the idle stops (the carburettors are configured to spring to the
fully open position so will need holding closed whilst the cables are set).
Check both carburettors open fully when the control is pushed fully in. Once
these are set wind the throttle stops back one full turn so that when the
throttle control is in the idle position there is a small gap between the levers
and the stops, when the pneumatic synchronization of the carburettors is
done ensure this gap remains to avoid stressing the cables and levers when
pulling on the throttle control. Cut off any excess cable and solder the ends to
prevent fraying, fit cable ties to secure the “grommets” and prevent the outer
cables jumping out of their fittings on aggressive throttle openings. Secure
cables as necessary to engine frame to prevent chaffing.

Propeller and spinner. Bag 60 & bag 9
The spinner will require cutting to suit the propeller being used (it may
already be marked out fot the two bladed VZLU propeller). The back
plate(7948) requires the fitting of nut plates (59251) to secure the spinner
cone and may also require the drilling of additional holes for the propeller
mounting bolts. The studs, collar nuts and castle nuts ETC in bag No 9 are for
fitting the VZLU propeller and may or may not be suitable for other propellers.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the chosen propeller for fitting. The
installation shown in the following pictures is for the Kiev 273/1700 three
bladed propeller. Set pitch to 28° @ 350 mm radius this should give a static
RPM of 4600.

when fitted to the aileron bell crank the bolt through the root connection will be
horizontal.Set the two short rods (8690) to 712 mm between rose joint
centres, align the rose joints at 90° to each other. Tighten all lock nuts and
paint a red line across them to make later inspection easier. Lubricate all ball

Pitot static head Bag No 49
Insert pitot head(13596) into the fibreglass housing approximately 20mm,
mark and drill a 2.5 mmØ hole in each side of the housing, drill through into
the pitot tube 2 – 3 mm. Remove tube and tap the two holes in the housing
M3, drill the two holes in the pitot head out to 3 mmØ and 3 mm deep.
PITOT HEAD (13596)
SCREW M3 X 6
Feed the pitot and static pipes already installed in the wing through the
housing ,these are already marked PITOT and STATIC and it is a good idea
to mark them where they exit the at the wing root, connect the pipes to the
pitot head (Evektor supply some locking wire to wrap around these
connections but we have found it not to be necessary). Push pitot head into
the housing and secure with screws M3 X 6 (12171). Screw pitot head
assembly to wing using screw M4 X 12 (51655), put a plastic washer (56125)
under each screw. The pitot and static labels supplied by Evektor tend not to
stick so we prefer marking the pipes with a permanent marker.
134
Now is a good time to fill all of the rivet heads on the wings, not forgetting the
rivets on the root rib and in the aileron and flap bays. It is also much easier to
fit the registration letters before the wings are fitted to the fuselage. The
aileron trim tab, bag 15 (E3 02-21 21) should now be fitted on the underside
of the starboard aileron using rivets 3 X 6.7.
Fitting wings to fuselage bag 16
Apply lubrication to the fuselage and wing attachment lugs to ease assembly,
align the wings with the spar attachments and fit pins (8484) top and bottom,
fit bolt (2858) in the rear spar attachments. Put a washer (8383) on each main
pin and secure with safety pin (3952). Secure the rear spar attachment bolt
using washer (6814), nut (13616) and safety pin (3952).

Flap operating levers bag 51
Assemble the operating levers, screw the eccentric pins (7300) into levers
(7029) as far as they will go, then back them off until they are in the mid
position, this gives fine adjustment of the flaps in both directions if required
(mid position is with the pin either forward or rearward of the threaded portion
and will depend on alignment in the flap slot). Lock the pin with washer (6814)
and nut (7810).

With the flap control in the retracted position (lever fully down/forward) fit the
assembled operating levers onto the torque tubes and engage the pins into
the slots in the root of the flaps. The slot in the root of the flaps may require a
little filing to allow the pin to move smoothly in it. Holding the flaps fully up
against the underside of the wing, and with the pins correctly engaged in the
flap, drill through the lever pilot holes from the top and bottom. The bolt holes
can now be progressively opened up to finished size (6mm Ø) from one side
only (top or bottom). Fit bolt (8491) with washers (6813) and nut 3089).
Measure and record the flap deflections, these should be 15°±2°, 30°±3 and
50°±3°. MaxImum difference between flaps is 2°.

Pitot and static lines
Connect the clear flexible pitot and
static hoses to the aluminium tubes at
the wing root; the tubes require
bending slightly to prevent kinking the
flexible hoses. We have not found the
need to fit any form of retaining clip at
this junction. Carry out a pitot/static
leak test when completed.
Aileron pushrod connection and adjustment
Using masking tape fix both ailerons level with the trailing edge of the wing,
adjust one of the short rods from the control sticks so that the bolt (2836) can
be fitted connecting the two rods together whilst having the control stick
vertical (we measure the distance from the sticks to the edge of the cockpit sill
and adjust the short rod to get them equal). With one side set it is a simple
matter of adjusting the other side enough to be able to fit the bolt. The result
of this should be, both ailerons level and both control sticks vertical. Secure
the two bolts with washer (6813), nut (3070) and split pin (8530).

Remove the masking tape from the ailerons and using the stop adjusters at
the base of the control sticks set the aileron deflections to 20°±1° up and
15°±1° down. Lock the adjusters and mark with red paint. The lock nut on the
short aileron rod at the wing root can now be tightened, the rose joint must be
positioned to allow full fore and aft movement of the stick without the rose
joints binding I.E. there is some rotational free play in the rods at the extremes
of fore and aft stick positions. This can take a while to get right, once
tightened put a red line across the lock nuts to aid future inspection.
