FUGHT CONTROLS
Dual controls, with a cable system between the controls and the surfaces, are installed as
standard equipment.
The horizontal tail is of the all-movable slab type (stabilator). The stabilator provides extra
stability and controllability with less size, drag, and weight than conventional tail surfaces.
An anti-servo tab which also acts as a longitudinal trim tab, is located on the horizontal
tail. This tail is actuated by a control mounted on the control tunnel between the front seats.
The ailerons are provided with a differential action which tends to eliminate adverse yaw in
turning maneuver and to reduce the amount of coordination required in normal furns.
The flaps are manually operated, balanced for light operating forces, and spring-loaded to
retum to the up position. A past-center lock incorporated in the actuating linkage holds the flap
when it is in the up position so that it may be used as a step on the right side. Since the flap will
not support a step load except in the full up position, it should be completely retracted when
the airplane is on the ground. The flaps have three extended positions, 10, 25, and 40 degrees.
