1.2.5 Landing gear
Landing gear consists of two main composite legs and a welded front leg. The tricycle gear
configuration, steerable nose wheel and hydraulic brakes all combine make the aircraft easy
to handle on the ground.
1.2.6 Controls
Controls are made of AlCu4PbMg and AlCuMg1 aluminum alloys. All controls are fitted in
bearings.
1.2.6.1 Movement of flight controls
Pitch control is effected by fore-aft movement of the control stick. Its movement is transmitted
to elevator using rods.
Pitch trimming is effected by lever installed between the seats right to the throttle. Its
movement is transmitted to trim-tab using cables.
Roll control is effected by sideward movement of the control stick. Its movement is
transmitted to ailerons using rods.
Yaw control is effected by rudder pedals. Their movement is transmited to the rudder using
cables.
Braking is effected by foot operated brakes located on the rudder pedals.
Landings flaps are actuated by a lever installed between the seats behind the throttle and
pitch trim. The most forward position of the lever corresponds to the flaps up position, the
most rearward position of the lever corresponds to the flaps full down position.
Throttle lever is located between the seats left to the pitch trim. The most forward position of
the lever corresponds to full power of the engine, the most rearward position of the lever
corresponds to idle setting of the engine.
