The Control System
The control system under the floor is made up of several parts.
The fitting of the control column is quite complex, but hopefully the attached pictures will help
with the assembly.
 The flap handle attaches as shown. There is no washers in this fitting, but it is fixed with
Locite 243.
 The pushrod attaches to the base of the control sticks. The front rod attaches to the left
handle and the rear rod connects to the right handle. The right pushrod has the larger
spacer to the front and the left pushrod has the larger spacer to the left.
 The spacers are machined and one end is chamfered, the chamfered end faces towards
the rod end.
 The whole assembly is secured with blue Loctite 243 and marked with red paint. Do not
use red Loctite 262, as you may occasionally have to adjust the fittings during the life of
the aircraft.
