horn. A spring-loaded balance cable is
routed between the pedal adjusting channels
and forward around pivoted pulleys located
on the hopper rear wall. The rudder controls
are interconnected by springs to the aileron
system so that a wing may be lifted with
rudder alone. This feature provides a
convenience during cross-country flight and
is an added safety feature in case the
aileron system becomes inoperative. (Fig. 7-
