2.14 Control Systems
Longitudinal Control (Pitch) –
The elevator is controlled by a system of push rods. Movement of the
control stick is passed into a torque tube running along the front of the seats. An arm is attached
to this tube near its centre which connects a push rod to a relay arm mounted beneath the
baggage bay. From here, a second push rod connects to an intermediate relay arm mount half
way along the fuselage rear, and from this point a third push rod connects to the elevator horn; the
system is shown below.
