THE AIRCRAFT
GENERAL
 Wingspan (m) 8,72
 Length (m) 6.96
 Height (m) 2.23
FLAPS
The flaps (0.669 m2) are controlled with a lever between the two front seats and can be set in three (locked)
stages;
 0°
 15° (intended for short take offs)
 60° (intended for landing)
ELEVATOR
The balanced elevator (2.88 m2) is controlled by cables and includes Anti-Balance-Trim-Tabs that can be used
as trim surfaces by means of a control wheel between the two front seats.
RUDDER
The conventional rudder (0.63 m2) is controlled via pedals and cable
GEAR
The fixed three wheel gear consists of three identical wheels and uses an oleo pneumatic suspension with long
travel. The Robin can be flown with the wheel covers removed but this dramatically increases drag. The nose
wheel is steerable using the rudder pedals but locked in central position in flight.
BRAKES
The two main wheels use independent brake circuits for controlling via rudder pedals (last 10% of travel). The
hand/parking-brake brakes both main gear wheels.
