7.3 Flight-Controls __________________________________
The control-forces are transmitted to the flight-controls with control-rods or
control-cables. Control-brackets – made of rust-proof coated steel – are
laminated into each flight-control. The bearings are prepared for easy movement
at all times.
The connections of the three control-elements integrated into each wing
(aileron, flap and air-brake) to the control-rods are located in the mid-section of
the fuselage. These connections are disconnectable. Additional connections of
the flight-controls between the inner-wing and the outer-wing are designed as
secured quick-connectors (non-automatic).
7.3.1 Ailerons
Design:
CFC-Sandwich, 2-part Aileron across the span of the outer-
Mounting: Inner-aileron: 9 joints and 1 control-connector each
Outer-aileron: 7 joints and 1 control-connector each
Axial fixations near the control-connectors
Operation: Operated with control-rods
Aileron-differential realized by parted ailerons. Outer-ailerons
deflect more than inner-ailerons. Flap deflection is also
overlayed.
Movement by sideways-deflection of control-stick.
7.3.2 Elevator
Mounting: 3 joints on each elevator-side, 1 centralized automatic control-
Operation: Operated with control-rods (which are located in the front
section, mid-section and rear section of the fuselage).
Removable horizontal stabilizer mounted by screwing the self-
securing connection-bolt.
Movement by push and pull on control-stick
The electric trim is moved with a toggle-switch on the control-stick.
