Full dual control with classic joysticks between pilot legs and pedals full
controllable for both pilots. Flap handle, trim handle, throttle and choke

7.2.1. Elevator control
Elevator is controlled by joysticks, fixed in control column through one rod
only guided in rod pulleys fixed in metal brackets in welded cage and rear
fuselage cone and connected directly with elevator lever.
7.2.2. Ailerons control
Ailerons are controlled by joysticks,
fixed in control column through
system of cables and pulleys in the
fuselage and rods and levers and
rod skids (in the wing) fixed in metal
brackets.
Cables of aileron control system has
to be stretched to roughly 10-12 kg.
Bigger stretching creates bigger
friction control forces.
If folded wing is used, system is needed
to disconnect in lever segments near
wing.
