One-piece canopy hinged at the front and held in opened position by gas springs. Three locks each on the
left and the right side to be operated by one locking lever on each side; "Röger"-hook on the rear/top.
Emergency jettisoning: Open both locking levers and pull T-shaped handle for emergency opening (red, on
the instrument panel). The canopy hinge opens and the canopy is lifted by means of a gas spring by
approximately 4 in. (100 mm). The Röger hook must remain closed, since it is the axis of rotation until the
canopy is jettisoned.
Cockpit ventilation via a nozzle in the instrument panel, canopy ventilation via openings in the canopy frame.
Instrument panel comprising three faces.
Two four-point harnesses with central locks.
Cockpit heating with power-plant waste heat (special equipment).
3.1.3 Tail Unit
Horizontal Tail
- T-arrangement.
- stabiliser as sandwich construction of CFP, elevator made of CFP.
- elevator slot sealed by elastic tape.
Vertical Tail
- Stabiliser as a sandwich construction of CFP.
- rudder as a sandwich construction of GFP, rudder slot sealed by elastic tape.
- integrated COM antenna in the rudder.
3.2 Control System
Longitudinal Control (figure 3.2.a)
Both control sticks are coupled by a connection tube. The control movements are transmitted via push-pull
rods to the end of the tail boom and then straight up to the elevator fitting. In the tail boom, the push-pull rod
is several times supported by linear motion ball bearings. The (adjustable) longitudinal control stops are in the
middle of the connection tube beneath the right control system cover in the cockpit.
Longitudinal Trim (figure 3.2.a)
The powered sailplane is trimmed by means of a slidable spring system acting upon the connection tube of
the longitudinal control in the cockpit.
Wing Flap Control System (figures 3.2.b and 3.2.c)
Both flap control levers are coupled by a connection tube. Control inputs are transmitted from this connection
tube via push-pull rods to a "mixing shaft" in the central fuselage. From this "mixing shaft", the control inputs
are transmitted via bell-crank levers, push-pull rods and quick-release joints to the control rods in the wing.
The control rods in the wing are supported by means of linear motion ball bearings. Via bell-crank levers, the
control movement is transmitted to the flap drive fittings.
On the flap input of the mixer, the flap control system is supported against the airframe structure by means of
a gas spring so that the operation lever is nearly free of forces in each position corresponding to the
respective airspeed. Due to the bi-directional viscous damping of the gas spring, impact loads are introduced
into the structure and thus are held off the hand lever and the locking appliance. Flap positions are set in a
notched plate that locks the control lever at the connection tube, located below the control gap cover in the
cockpit.
