4.4.5.2 Primary
controls
The Sportstar is controlled in all three axes by dual controls in the cockpit.
Pitch and roll movements are controlled by a conventional stick with a grip
that is dependent on the type of trim control that is installed. Yaw is
controlled by the rudder pedals that are also linked individually to each
brake.
Flight control checks on the ground should include checking for movement
in the proper direction and full travel in all directions. Full deflection of the
rudder will cause the nose to move because the pedals are connected to
the nose wheel steering. Any noises heard during the flight control checks
should be investigated; lubrication of control system joints might be
required.
