Fig. 5 Elevator trim tab control system
The trim tab control lever 1 (
) is placed on the central console. It is retained in place
by friction adjusted using the wheel 2.
The trim tab control lever is connected with a cable 3 to the trim tab control arm 4. The cable
is running through the flexible conduits 5 (in the central console) and 6 (in stabilizer) and
cable fairleads 7 and 8 inside the tail boom. The trim tab is hinged to the elevator trailing
edge on a wire serving also as a torsion spring.
The trim tab angles of deflection are: upward 21±1°, downward 22±1°.
