Brake control system

The hydraulic brake system is comprised of two master cylinders, located immediately
forward of the rudder pedals; brake lines, connecting each master cylinder to its wheel
brake cylinder, and the single-disc, floating cylinder-type brake assembly, located at
each main landing gear wheel.

Wings and empennage

Each wing is of all metal construction and is a semicantilever, semimonocque with two
main spars and suitable for attachment of the skin. Leading edge skins are bonded; non
metallic wing tips are mounted on each wing assembly.

Navigation/strobe lights are mounted on each contoured wing tip.

Wing flap control system

The flap system is comprised of an electric motor and transmission assembly, drive
pulleys, push-pull rods, cables and a follow up control.

Electrical power to the motor is controlled by two micro switches mounted on a floating
arm assembly, by a camming lever and a follow up control.

Aileron control system

The aileron control system is comprised of push-pull rods, bell cranks cables, pulleys,
quadrants and components forward of the instrument panel, all of which, link the
control wheels to the ailerons.

Elevator control system

The elevators are operated through fore and aft movement of the pilot or co-pilot
control wheels.

The system is comprised of control columns, an elevator torque tube, cables and
pulleys.

The elevator control cables, at their aft ends, are attached to a bell crank mounted on a
bulkhead in the tail cone assembly.

A push-pull tube connects this bellcrank to the elevator arm assembly installed in
between the elevators.

An elevator trim tab is installed in the trailing edge of the right elevator.

Rudder control system

Rudder control is maintained through the use of conventional rudder pedals which also
control nose wheel steering.

The system is comprised of rudder pedals, cables and pulleys, all of which link the pedals
to the rudder and nose wheel steering.
