2. Description
The DA 42 NG has a control stick for each pilot. If OÄM 42-281 or OÄM 42-283 is installed, the RH
control stick is removed or removable. The control sticks operate the ailerons and elevator via control
rods. Aileron pushrods connect to the bottom of the control sticks. The pushrods connect to the aileron
front bellcrank at the control bulkhead. The front bellcrank at the control bulkhead connects to a short
pushrod under the center console.
The short pushrod connects to an idler lever attached to the front main bulkhead. Another push-rod
connects the idler lever to the aileron rear bellcrank. The aileron rear bellcrank attaches to the rear
face of the rear main bulkhead.
The rear bellcrank connects to the two pushrods in the center section. Each of these rods connect to
long pushrod assemblies located in each of the wings.
Each long pushrod assembly has three pushrod guides. The first pushrod guide attaches to a rib
located in the wing center section. The second attaches to the outer flap control rib. A small rib holds
the third pushrod guide. The two long pushrod assemblies attach to the aileron bellcranks which are
mounted in each wing, at the aileron control rib.
Short pushrods connect the aileron bellcrank to the aileron horn. You can adjust the short pushrods
to move the aileron range-of-movement up or down.
The aileron stop which limits the movement of the control sticks to the right (right aileron up, left aileron
down) is located to the left of the pilot’s control stick (Figure 1). The aileron stop which limits the
movement o the control stick to the left (left aileron up, right aileron down) is located to the right of the
co-pilot’s control stick. Each aileron stop consists of a nut which is welded to the torque tube assembly,
a bolt which is installed in the nut and a jamnut which locks the assembly. The head of the bolt makes
the stop.
Additional, non adjustable stops are located in front of the leading edge of the LH and RH aileron.
Each stop consists of a GFRP block with a rubber coating, bonded to the inside of the upper wing skin.
When the aileron is deflected fully downward, the aileron paddle is deflected fully upward and contacts
the stop.
