SECTION VII
FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
The ZODIACSLSA is controlled in flight by the use of the three standard primary flight
control surfaces, consisting of the ailerons, elevator and the rudder. Operation of these
controls is through the movement of the control stick and pedals. The individual surfaces
are connected to their control components by the use of cables and push-pull rods.
Provision for longitudinal trim control is provided by an electric trim tab. The flaps are
electrically operated through an interconnecting tube and adjustable rods.
Use the ZODIAC drawings for installation and removal of the control system.
For flight control deflections, see Table 1.
Flap top shown with flaps up.
When flaps are up, both the left and right flaps must be tight against the flap stop as shown
above.
Check the flaps for positive firm contact with the flap stops when in the “up” (retracted)
position. Check for movement by gently pushing up and down on the flap trailing edges.
WARNING: The flap system can get damaged if the flaps are stepped on. Do not fly with
loose or damaged flaps.
