D. Adjust the flap push-pull rods to the
proper length and connect them to
the torque tube arms.
E. Shorten the length of the maximum
travel limit bolt located on the right
side of the fuselage adjacent to the
torque tube.
F. With the flap switch, lower the flaps
to the fully extended position.
G. Using a propeller protractor or
equivalent instrument to measure the
flap angular travel, adjust the down
micro-switch located on the vertical
shaft adjacent to the jackscrew to
achieve 15 (±1) degrees. Retract
and extend the flaps after each
adjustment to verify proper
adjustment.
H. With the flaps in the fully extended
position, adjust the maximum travel
stop bolt so that there is a 0.060” to
0.100” gap between the bolt head
and the stop pad (See Figure 7-5).
I.
Retract the flaps with flap switch and
turn the master switch “OFF.”

RUDDER
Ref. Figures 7-6 & 7-9
The all metal rudder is attached to the
vertical stabilizer at three hinge points.
The rudder control cable is connected
directly from the rudder horn at the
bottom of the rudder to the rudder pedal
adjustment channels. The left and right
rudder cables route from the adjustment
channels aft around pulleys where they
pass through the fuselage side skins and
attach to adjustment straps on the rudder
horn. A spring-loaded balance cable is
routed between the pedal adjusting
channels and forward around pivoted
pulleys located on the hopper rear wall.
The rudder controls are interconnected
by springs to the aileron system so that a
wing may be lifted with rudder alone.
This feature provides a convenience
during cross-country flight and is an
added safety feature in case the aileron
system becomes inoperative. (Fig. 7-3)
