Controls
The Sport Pilot Zephyr has dual
controls for operation of rudder, ailerons and
elevator, these being actuated through a series of
rods, levers and steel wire cables via two sets of
control sticks and foot pedals. For easy inspection,
strategic openings covered with perspex are placed
throughout the airframe. |

Engine
Standard power plant for the Zephyr is the four
stoke, four piston, 100 hp Rotax 912ULS. For
maximum fuel economy, customers may opt for a 80
hp variant instead. Typical fuel economy is four
to four and a half U.S. gallons per hour at
economy cruise. For fuel choice, operators may
use less costly, standard automobile gasoline or
avgas.
Fuel System
The Zephyr's fuel system includes a
fuselage-integrated fuel tank complete with
piping convection, inline fuel filter, drain
plug, duel fuel pumps (mechanical and electric)
and fuel pressure gauge.
Rescue System (Parachute)
For maximum peace of mind, all Zephyr Sport
Pilot aircraft sold in North America come
equipped with a rocket-launched rescue parachute
system. | |
