INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS.
a Control horn hole selection. Attach clevis to control
horn hole 1. (see fig. 2-7.)
NOTE
The control horns on both the elevator and ailerons are
manufactured with four positioning holes for snap link
attachment.
The selection of which hole to connect is based primarily
upon the experience of the aircraft controller. The position
of the snap link on the control horn governs the reaction of
the aircraft in relation to the amount of movement of the
control lever on the transmitter. Positioning the snap link in
the hole closest to the control surface causes the control
surface to move correspondingly faster and further than it
does when the snap link is positioned in the hole farthest
from the control surface. This translates into aircraft reac-
tion time during maneuvers. If the aircraft is notresponding
to control lever inputs during maneuvers to the satisfaction
of the controller, the controller can increase or decrease the
reaction of the aircraft simply by repositioning the snap link
on the control horn.
For minimum movement of the control surface, attach snap
link to hole 1.
For intermediate adjustment of control surface, attach
snap link to hole 2 or 3.
For maximum movement of the control surface, attach snap
link to hole 4.
