FLIGHT CONTROLS
The airplane's flight control system (see figure 7-1) consists of
conventional aileron, elevator and rudder control surfaces. The
control
surfaces are manually operated through mechanical linkage using a
control wheel for the ailerons and elevator, and rudder/brake pedals for
the rudder. The elevator control system is equipped with a
down-spring,
and an aileron-rudder interconnect is incorporated to provide improved
stability in
flight.
Extensions are available for the rudder/ brake pedals. They consist of a
rudder pedal face, two spacers and two spring clips. To install an exten-
sion, place the clip on the bottom of the extension under the bottom of the
rudder pedal and snap the top clip over the top of the rudder pedal. Check
that the extension is firmly in
place.
To remove the
extensions,
reverse the
above procedures.
TR IM SYSTEMS
Manually-operated rudder and elevator trim is provided (see figure 7-
1). Rudder trimming is accomplished through a bungee connected to the
rudder control system and a trim control wheel mounted on the control
pedestal. Rudder trimming is accomplished by rotating the horizontally
mounted trim control wheel either left or right to the desired trim position.
Rotating the trim wheel to the right will trim nose-right;
conversely
,
rotating it to the left will trim nose-left. Elevator trimming is accomp-
lished through the elevator trim tab by utilizing the vertically mounted
trim control wheel. Forward rotation of the trim wheel will trim nose-
down; conversely, aft rotation will trim nose-up. The airplane may also be
equipped with an electric elevator trim system. For details concerning this
system, refer to Section 9,
Supplements.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
The instrument panel (see figure 7-2) is designed around the basic
"
