If the control stick is in a neutral position and the ailerons are not lined up with the respecti-
ve tips, act as follows:
1 Remove the door on the seats’s floor;
2 Unscrew the M6 nut to take off the connecting rod from the control-stick transfer;
3 Fix the aileron and the control stick in a neutral position;
4 The connecting rod goes up an adjustable head: unscrew the control for some turns and
rig the head until it can enter easily in the control-stick bolt;
5 Screw again the M6 nut and lock the checknut;
6 Close the door.

ENGINE CONTROL
On the central control panel, in the middle of the cockpit there are the handgrips relative to:
■■ Throttle lever
■■ Choke push pull cable
The power levers and the choke one are fixed to a control box made of carbon fibre and they are
linked to steel-sheath cables.
The cables, fastened to the fuselage structure, pass the firewall and inside engine compartment
are fixed to a box that has the function to double the controls in order to reach the throttle lever
and the choke lever of the two engine carburetors.
