Leg Flying Controls, Rudders and Relieving Flap
With the neutral positions of the pedals of the leg flying controls, both rudders should be
deflected by 2º to the right (against the planes of the vertical stabilizer chords). Adjusting the
neutral position of the control surfaces is possible by fixing appropriately the bowdens to the
consoles on tail beams.
The maximum deflection angles of the control surfaces amount to 20º ÷ 25º to the right and
left against the neutral position. The values are much higher from the maximum deflection angles
which can occur in flight. They are not adjustable.
The relieving flap is preset after the phase of test flights. The aim of applying it is to
facilitate flight straight ahead without the necessity to use pedals by the pilot. If the need arises,
you can correct the flap position by delicately bending it in or out. It is not allowed to strain the
control surfaces too firmly as they can become damaged. The flap is stuck with polyurethane glue.
Bending the flap to the left deflects the flight direction of the gyrocopter to the right, and inversely.
