Rudder Control
The rudder is controlled by means of foot control pedals. Pedal
deflections are transferred to the rudder by a cable-pulley system.
Foot control pedals can be set individually to two positions by means
of a lock-pin mechanism on the side wall of fuselage under the
instrument panel.
The pedals also control the nose gear steering (see Chapter 32-20).
The forward end of the cable is connected to the foot control pedals.
The steel cables are led through the middle channel of the fuselage.
The cables are guided by pulleys in the aft part of the forward
fuselage section to a pulley block installed on the fin spar riveted to
bulkhead No. 11 and attached to the rudder control lever installed on
the fin spar back. The rudder deflection is limited by travel stops (See
Chapter 27-20-03).
