3. Pilot instructions
In the Flexball electronic control system can be mounted any of the following command stations: 3500 - 4000 -
4200 - 4500. Depending on the system configuration and on the type of command station, the latter can be
used for the command of one or two engines. Here below are reported the instructions for some types of
levers: although the functions are the same, due to the command station’s construction, push buttons, LEDs
and keypads might look slightly different. For more detailed information look at the specific command station
product instruction.
Each command station repeats the functionality of a traditional mechanical lever. Moving the lever from the
neutral position, after an angle between 16° and 20° forward or reverse (it depends on the lever’s type),
automatically the electronic system clutches-in respectively the forward or reverse gear. It follows then the
lever’s stroke in forward and backward direction for the throttle control.
