LANDING GEAR, WHEELS & BRAKES
The main landing gear is made using a formed chrome-moly spring steel unit. The left
main gear and the right main gear are symmetrical. The main wheels are 29 x 11. The
spring steel construction and design of the main gear allow for absorption of landing
weight and common stresses associated with such, thus eliminating the need for shock
struts. The brake system has individual toe brakes and individual park brakes. The use of
a special N-513 compound cup in each master cylinder permits the use of MIL-H-5606, a
heavy-duty aviation hydraulic fluid. The brakes are dual caliper disc types. The tail gear
is a spring steel type and uses a 6.00 x 6 tailwheel.

FLIGHT CONTROLS

The flight controls are of conventional design employing extensive use of ball bearings for
low friction and smoothness of operation. The aileron and elevator controls are push rod
systems and the rudder control is through cables. The elevator trim control is actuated by
a lever that moves the tab to the desired position through push rods. The wing flaps are
operated electrically and controlled by a switch located on the left side of the cockpit. The
rudder controls are interconnected by springs to the aileron system so that a wing may be
lifted with the rudder alone.

INSTRUMENTS

The standard instruments are located on three separate panels: An upper panel, a left
panel, and a right panel. The left panel contains a clock, oil temperature, hour meter, fuel
pressure, oil pressure, air filter Delta "P", and fuel quantity gauges. The right panel
contains a voltmeter, ammeter, and circuit breakers. The upper panel contains all engine-
warning lights, torque pressure, ITT indicator, Gas Generator percent RPM, Propeller
RPM and standard flight instrument package.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The standard 24 volts and 105 amp electrical system consists of the starting system, the
navigation lights, the wiper/washer system, and the strobe lights. The landing lights, the
working lights, and the air conditioner system are optional. The landing and working
lights may be installed in the field, since the wiring for them is included in the standard
wire bundle. The electrical system obtains power from two 24-volt batteries and one
starter/generator. An external power receptacle is standard equipment and may be used
for connecting a 24-volt ground power unit to the aircraft for engine starting or
maintenance. The ground start system utilizes the master relay so that starting is
accomplished by engaging the starter switch.
