The rudder is fitted with a trim tab.
This is normally biased to the left, and may be adjusted by the operator to trim the aircraft
for straight flight at a desired speed, feet off the pedals. Adjusting it to the left will biase the
rudder to the right and vice versa.
Throttle and brake panel
The throttle and brake panel and cabin heat / cabin temp control is located on the left side
of the pilot station in the centre panel. Throttle control (1) is conventional with IDLE in aft (or
pulled) and full throttle in most forward position. The throttle lever is linked with cable
controls to the engine. A mechanical spring applies tension to the control cables and brings
the engine to full throttle in case of a cable break. The throttle lever has a pre-set friction
brake which holds the throttle in the selected position.
