Rudder
The rear rudder pedals are connected to the nosegear via steel cable. The front pedals
are connected via rods to the nosegear. The nosegear connects to the rudder via cables,
retained inside an outer sheath through the keel. Pushing the right pedal will turn the
aircraft right in the air and right when on the ground. The rear pedals are an option fit item
for instructional use.
Note that the rudder is fitted with a trim tab. This is normally biased to the left, and may be
adjusted by the operator to trim the aircraft for straight flight at a desired speed, feet off
the pedals. Adjusting it to the left will biase the rudder to the right and vice versa.

Throttle
The front cockpit is fitted with a throttle, choke and brake lever cluster (see photo). The
brakes may be locked on using the detent locking pawl. Pushing the throttle forward
increase power. The choke lever is pulled rearwards to engage, and opens automatically
when released.
