	            flight about to be carried out.

	     (xii)  Test flying controls for freedom and correct
	            movement (elevators and aileron control only:
	            rudder to be tested when taxying).

        21.   Running Up
	     
	      The engine is ready to be run up and tested after
        4 minutes and when oil pressure is registering 35 lbs/sq.
	in. minimum -

     	     (i)    Hold stick right back.
	      
	     (ii)   Open throttle to 1600 r.p.m. and test the mag-
	            netos independently ( the drop in r.p.m. must
	            not exceed 100).
	     
	     (iii)  Open throttle fully, r.p.m. should be 1825
	            minimum, normal 2100.  Check oil pressure
	            40-45 lbs/sq. in.
	            	     
	     (iv)   Throtle back and check the slow running

	     (i)    See that throttle friction nut is slackened.

	     (ii)   Ensure that tail trimming lever is in fully
	            tail heavy position.
	     
	     (iii)  Avoid taxying or idling for prolonged periods
	            at low r.p.m.

        23.   Take Off
	     
	      The setting of the controls during the drill of vital
        Actions is as follows:-

	     (i)    Elevator trim is netral (control position on
