Pilot force reducing rubber-cord

The rubber cord produces an elevator stick force in push direction. If the trim
efficiency of your glider in push direction is reduced, you have to inspect the
rubber cord.
The rubber cord is located on the left hand side behind the main bulkhead below
the baggage compartment floor. The rubber cord runs from bellcrank 5St19 to a
fork beside the left hand front edge of the landing gear box.
The length of the rubber cord when loose should be 470 mm (18.5 in.).
If the cord is longer or worn it must be replaced.
The cord must be replaced at least every 6 years.
