Automatic Nose Wheel and Rudder Centering Systems
Although the original Sinus and Virus aircraft were not equipped with automatic nose wheel and
rudder centering systems, all newly-produced Sinus and Virus aircraft are and existing aircraft
can be equipped with them upon owner request.

Mounting the automatic nose wheel-centering system:
The first step is to remove the nose wheel and disconnect its cables at the point where they
meet the balancing bracket, just on the outer side of the firewall. Then remove the front two
screws, which hold the sides of the black plastic covering in place.
