6.2 Description and operation
6.2.1 Lateral control
Ailerons are controlled by control sticks. Movement of control sticks is transferred by two push
rods lead from the control stick to the transmission tube which transmits the movement to two
push rods installed behind bulkhead No. 5 behind the seats. These two push rods lead to the
control levers installed in the fuselage. Deflection from the control lever is transferred by means
of the push rods to the bell crank installed on rear rib No. 7 in outer wing. Bell crank is connected
per push rod with aileron control lever. Push rods have adjustable terminals with spherical
bearings on the ends enabling aileron deflection adjustment. Lateral control stops are located
on control sticks and the transmission tube.
