A1 description

Fuselage: composed by GFRP of semi-monocoque construction.

Wings: composed by GFRP sandwich construction and contain

CFRP spar.
-Ailerons and flaps from CFRP attached to the wing
With stainless steel and aluminium hinges.
Empennage: ruder and elevator semi-monocroque sandwich.
Flaps:electrical motor, 3 positions (UP, T/O and LDG)
Flight controls: Ailerons and elevator acted by push rods.
Trim system: electrical trim.
Cabin heat
Cabin air
Brakes :hydraulic brakes.
Propeller pitch adjust: (t/o and LDG propeller full) – following the plane manual.
Lubrication: dry sump lubrication system.
Fuel system: Tank below cockpit
Elec. System: 12V battery. Generator 40AMP
Ignition system: 2 independent ignition systems. Battery 20AMP for 30min
Pitot and static pressure: In the left wing on the leading edge.
Stall warning system: Drops below 1.1 times the stall speed.

(C1)
The only differences:
Cabin heat: We can switch (on, off, medium) positions.
Stall warning 5KTS before the stall.
