7.9 FLIGHT CONTROLS
Dual flight controls are provided
as
standard equipment. The flight
controls actuate the control surfaces through a cable system.
The horizontal surface (stabilator)
is
of
the flying tail design with a trim
tab mounted on the trailing edge. This tab serves the dual function
of
providing trim control
and
pitch control forces. The trim tab
is
actuated by a
trim control wheel located on the control console between the front seats
(Figure 7-3). Forward rotation
of
the wheel gives nose down trim and aft
rotation gives nose up trim.
The rudder
is
conventional
in
design and incorporates a rudder trim.
The trim mechanism
is
a spring loaded recentering device. The trim control
is
located on the right side of the pedestal below the throttle quadrant (refer
to Figure 7-5). Turning the trim control clockwise gives nose right trim and
counterclockwise rotation gives nose left trim.
