4.2 Fuel Draining Procedure
Since auto fuel contains a significant amount of ethanol nowadays,
draining of the fuel system is more and more important. Draining of
the aircraft must be performed before moving the aircraft at all. After
re-fueling the aircraft, draining is also required. Give the fuel several
minutes to rest after filling it up and do not move the aircraft prior to
draining.
The drainer is located underneath the belly, just behind the main
landing gear. From the outside only a plastic hose with 0.5 in
diameter is visible. To drain the fuel tank, press on the plastic hose.
Capture the released fuel and analyze it for water.
To dump fuel, press in the plastic drainer hose and turn it counter-
clockwise (as seen from bottom) about ¼ of a turn. To close the
drainer, turn the plastic hose back. Be sure the drainer is properly
closed. If dust or dirt particles get inside the drainer, the drainer will
not close properly. In this case, open the drainer again to clean the
drainer.
When draining the aircraft take care that no fuel contaminates the
environment. Dispose of drained or dumped fuel in an environmental
correct manner.

recommendations
Charge your battery on a regular basis, especially in the cold time of
the year. Take care to use the correct charger. Standard equipment
is a LiFePo4 battery that needs a special kind of charger. To avoid
damage to the battery, do not use inappropriate or inexpensive
chargers. Contact REMOS for recommendations of appropriate
charging systems.
Take the battery out of the aircraft in winter time if you do not fly and
stow it in a dry place at room temperature. Aircraft owners that oper-
ate their REMOS GX throughout the entire year, even in the cold
winter time, are strongly recommended to use at least a 16Ah battery
and to install a TANIS heater system for both the battery and the
engine. Contact REMOS or your dealer for certified installation of the
heater systems.

8.1 Introduction
This section gives guidance how to service the aircraft and how to
handle it on ground. This section does not provide maintenance
instructions.
Make sure there is app. 1 inch of coolant liquid visible in the overflow
bottle. Exceeding this level is not required.
For checking the oil remove the oil tank cap. Prior to oil check turn
the propeller by hand in the direction of engine rotation several times
to pump oil from the engine into the oil tank. It is essential to build up
compression in the combustion chamber. Maintain the pressure for a
few seconds to allow the pressure flow around the piston rings into
the crankcase. The speed of rotation is not important for the
pressure transfer into the crankcase.
This process is finished when air is returning back to the oil tank an
can be noticed by a murmur from the open oil tank.
The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum marking
on the oil dipstick. Avoid oil levels exceeding the maximum mark as
excess oil will be poured through the venting line.
The fuel tank vent line is also the overflow line and is located on the
belly of the airplane. If the fuel tank is full (recognizable by the fuel
nozzle shutting down), further filling of the tank will lead the fuel to
overflow.
The fuel tank is equipped with a sight tube to check fuel level. The
sight tube can be found inside the cabin between the two seats.

8.5 Towing
Due to the low weight of the REMOS GX, it is very easy to move the
Grab the aircraft at the propeller roots just outside the spinner to pull
it forward. For pushing the aircraft backward it is recommended to
push at the root of the horizontal tail. Bushing backward is also
permitted at the strut. If this is done with open doors, one can grab
the rudder pedal to steer backward.
8.6 Tie-Down
To tie down the aircraft we recommend the use of at least three
ropes (left wing, right wing, and tail). Tie down each wing by
attaching the rope to the lug located on the upper strut bracket.
Another rope connection point is provided on the tail skid of the
aircraft. When necessary, a fourth rope can be slid around the
propeller/gear drive shaft at the nose of the aircraft.
Secure the control stick by use of the safety belt to prevent the
control surfaces from being slammed from stop to stop by the wind.
NOTE
The maximum wind velocity to leave a tied down aircraft
in the open is 38 kts.
6. Attach the tail cover and secure it with the screws provided.
Connect the electric jack for the taillight.

This chapter should enable you to familiarize yourself with the flight
performance and flight characteristics of the REMOS GX. To
complete these instructions, please refer to the appropriate sections
in the POH.

• Cruise
• Stall
• Slip
• Glide
• Descent
• Approach
• Touch down
2 Take-Off
3 Climb
4 Cruise
Normal cruise
An economical cruise is flown at engine speeds of 4,400 RPM to
4,800 RPM. With the Sensenich or Neuform propeller this will result
in airspeeds between 98mph (85kts) and 111mph (97kts) with a fuel
flow between 4 and 5 gph
High speed cruise is done with engine speeds between 5,000 RPM
and 5,400 RPM. With the Sensenich or Neuform propeller this will
result in airspeeds between 117mph (102kts) and 130mph (113kts)
with a fuel flow between 5 and 7 gph.
5 Stall
6 Slip
The slip is a very stable flight condition and is also very easy to
perform. This maneuver is used to increase aerodynamic drag to
enable a high rate of descent.
Conducting a slip does not require special skills. However, if you are
not yet familiar with the aircraft, we recommend to do this exercise
only when accompanied by an experienced flight instructor.
7 Gliding
The aircraft can glide well with the engine off. Best glide ratios are
achieved within an indicated airspeed of 75 mph (65 kts). These
speeds will establish a glide ratio of about 1:10 with the flaps
retracted (0° position).
8 Descent
9 Approach
9 Approach
10 Touchdown
The aircraft has very good low speed characteristics and so is very
controllable all the way through the landing phase. After a good
approach has been conducted, the REMOS GX does not require
much action to land with a perfect touch down. It is important to
establish a safe and stable airspeed during the approach.

5.5 Tested Glider Configuration
The following gliders have been towed during flight tests:
LS-1, LS-4, Baby-III, Astir and Twin Astir, Hornbach, Junior, Jantar,
Pirat, Puchacz, Discus and DuoDiscus, Blanik, DG-100/300/500,
DG-1000, ASK-21 and ASW-24, Nimbus and Cirrus, Cobra, PIK-20.
5.6 Remarks
Based on the rules of the Light Sport Aircraft airworthiness
standards, the maximum dimension is defined by the weight of the
glider to be towed, without consideration of glider aerodynamics.
During the flight test with the DG-1000T, a maximum permissible
glider weight of 1,580 lb has been demonstrated.
6.1 General
When the aircraft is used for glider towing, the weight and balance
calculations for the standard configuration are valid also for towing
operations. Concerning payload, there are some restrictions which
have to be observed, see also Section 3 within this supplement.

persons that may perform maintenance and repair as defined in the
Maintenance Manual including 25h and 100h inspection:
Without having updated the equipment list and weight and balance
or not having changes approved by the manufacturer that are not
part of the maintenance manual, the aircraft is considered not
airworthy and unsafe to fly. It is not legal to operate an aircraft
without a current equipment list and weight and balance and required
