Rudder
The rudder is of a conventional type and it is aerodynamically balanced and is operated
through foot pedals and cables.
Stabilator
The stabilator is an all-moving type stabilizer with a counter-weight and anti servo/trim tab.
It is actuated through a flexible push pull cable connected to the dual control sticks.
Ailerons
The Frise type ailerons are controlled with push pull tubes and rod bearings and droop
automatically with selection of the flaps.
Flaps
The flaps are of the slotted type, and a pre-selector switch is used to position the flaps
from -6° (or -12° for CT-LSA Australia) to +40º. The position of the flaps is indicated on the
control panel. The flaps are protected by limit switches at the end limits.
Pitch Trim
Pitch trim is activated through a control wheel located adjacent to throttle quadrant, and
acts upon trim tab on the stabilator.
Aileron Trim
Aileron trim is activated trough a control wheel located on the console between the pilot
seats.
Rudder Trim System
Rudder trim is activated through a control wheel located on the cabin bulkhead above the
console and between the pilot seats.
BRS Parachute system
Rocket deployed emergency parachute system. The system is actuated through the red
“T” handle located on the cabin bulkhead between the pilot seats. The T handle is secured
on the ground with a tagged safety pin. The pin is removed for flight operations. To deploy
the parachute, the T handle is pulled out fully to the stop.
Autopilot
Autopilot is an optional equipment. The available autopilots are Digiflight II Series.
− CT Pilot 1 Axis, Digiflight II FP basis (Aileron, later upgrade possible);
− CT Pilot 2 Axis, Digiflight II FP basis (Aileron & Stabilizer, later upgrade possible);
− CT Pilot 2 Axis + vertical speed, Digiflight II FP VS basis (Aileron & Stabilizer with
vertical steering).
For a complete description and operating information of the autopilot see Operating
Handbook for Digiflight II Series autopilots, TruTrak Flight Systems.
