The blue handle on the left controls the airbrakes. It is in the fully backwards position to fully extend the airbrakes to reduce the chance of a gust of wind from lifting the glider. The green knob forwards of the airbrake handle controls the elevator trim tabs used to reduce pressure on the stick. The dark blue knob below the airbrake handle controls the main wheel brake, a single disk. The stick (control column) is fixed to the floor and pivots freely within the square 'box' under the floor. The green button on the handle top controls the radio. Below the instrument panel in the nose footwell are the two rudder pedals. They are adjusted fore and aft by a spring toggle on the floor forward of the stick. The toggle can be seen lying on the floor.
At the foot of the picture is the front edge of
the seat. It is a moulded construction covered by a thin
shock-absorbing safety cushion. For details of the instruments click on the instrument panel. |
