9-10.7 System Description
9-10.7.1 Flight Control Horn
The flight control horn is designed to control rolling
and pitching conventionally; additionally it replaces
the use of pedals for yawing. Operation of the
control horn, and control horn movements, are
shown in the following figure.
Left and right hand control horn heads are
identical; however only the right hand control
horn´s head buttons are connected for operation.
The control horn heads are ergonomically shaped
to fit both pilot’s hands (right and left hand) and
feature control buttons for radio transmission (1), a
four-way trim function (2), and activation of the pre-
rotator (3).
The control horn may be swung down to simplify
embarking and disembarking. To swing down pull
out the two quick release pins from the horn root
and pull the horn to the top axially until the horn is
able to swing down. Lay horn down into the leg
room.
Make sure push-pull control cables are not bent!
For mounting the control horn,
execute swing-down procedure in reverse order.
