Longitudinal control (elevator control)
The elevator is controlled by control sticks. Movement of control sticks is transferred by
system of transmission levers and push rods to the elevator. Forward and backward
movement of the control stick is transferred by the push rods lead through the central channel
between seats to the two-arm lever which is located on the fin spar. Lever deflection is
transferred to the movement of the push rod in the rear part of fuselage to the elevator. Push
rods have adjustable terminals with spherical bearings on the ends enabling elevator
deflection adjustment.

Directional control (rudder control)
The rudder control is controlled by means of foot control pedals. Pedal deflections of foot
control are transferred by means of steel cables to the rudder. Steel cables are lead through
middle channel of the fuselage. Cable ends are bent over the pulleys installed on fin spar
riveted on bulkhead No. 12 and attached to the rudder control lever installed on fin spar back.
Other cable end is connected with foot control pedals.
Foot control pedals are setting to three positions (back, middle and front) by means of control
lever located on the side wall of fuselage under instrument panel.
