FLIGHT CONTROLS
The control surfaces are bearing supported and operated through the conventional cable
assembly using push-rods and bell cranks.
TRIM CONTROL
Aircraft trim is accomplished using either the manual or electric pitch trim system. An
emergency disconnect button will disengage the trim motor when depressed allowing time to
turn off the trim circuit breaker. The aileron trim is located in the lower center console; this is
used to displace the ailerons for trimming through cable tension only.
FLAPS
Wing flaps are operated by a three position switch with the UP, DOWN, and OFF position. The
switch must be pulled out of detent in order to change position. There is an indicator gauge with
UP, 10, 20, and DOWN (35). (Note: it takes 3 seconds for flaps to move from UP to 10 position,
1 second from 10 to 20, and 1 second from 20 to 35 respectively)
