The control tee and the control column are shown in figures 6-1 and 6-2, 6-3. CONTROL TEE. The control tee, used in the Models 210 and 210A,” connects the control wheels, and through a roller chain, cable, and bellerank arrangement, transmits control wheel rotation to the aileron direct cables. ‘The control tee is pivoted to afford fore-and-aft motion to operate the elevator control system. 6-4, CONTROL COLUMN. Beginning with the Model 2108, and on all Model 205 and 206 series, a control column is used. Details are shown in figure 6-2. Ro- tation of the control wheel rotates four needle bearing rollers on the end of the control wheel tube which, in turn, rotate a square tube inside and extending from the control wheel tube, Attached to this square tube is a sprocket which operates the aileron system. The same arrangement is provided for both control wheels and synchronization is obtained by the interconnecting roller chains and sprockets. The sprocket end of the square tube is mounted in a bearing block on the fire wall and does not move fore and aft but rotates with the control wheel. The four needle bearing rollers on the end of the control wheel tube prevent friction as ‘the control wheel is moved fore and aft for elevator system operation. A sleeve weld assembly, con- taining bearings which permit the control wheel tube to rotate within it, is secured to the control wheel tube by a sleeve and retaining ring in such a manner that it moves fore and aft with the control wheel tube. This movement allows the push-pull tube attached to the weld assembly to operate an ele- vator arm assembly, to which one elevator cable is attached. A torque tube connects this arm assembly to the opposite one, to which the other elevator cable is attached. When dual controls are installed, the copilot's control wheel is linked to the aileron and elevator control systems in the same manner as the pilot's control wheel. 65. CABLES AND BELLCRANKS. The aileron cables are routed differently in the basic systems used on the various models, Refer to the illustra- tion applicable to a specific model. Aileron bell- cranks and drive pulleys vary with each system. ‘The bellcranks and drive pulleys are also shown in the basic systems illustration, 6-6, AILERONS, Two different types of ailerons are used. The piano-hinged ailerons are used on all airplanes except the Model 206 series, and the Model 210 beginning with the 210D. The latter are equipped with Frise type ailerons which pivot on two hinges located on brackets extending from each wing. ‘The ailerons are shown in figures 6-6 and 6-7. 1‘The copilot's control wheel is installed in the same manner as the pilot's con- trol wheel When dual controls are not installed, the right half of the con- trol tee (items 1 thru 4 and 30 thru 33) are deleted, .

PROBABLE CAUSE ISOLATION PROCEDURE REMEDY Loose control cables. Broken pulley or bracket, cable off pulley, or worn'rod end bearings. LOST MOTION IN CONTROL WHEEL. Check cable tension. Check visually. Adjust cables to proper tension. Replace worn or broken parts, install cables correctly. Cables too tight. Pulleys binding or cable off. Bellerank distorted or damaged, Defective chain or sprocket assembly. Defective universal joint. Clevis bolts in system too tight. RESISTANCE TO CONTROL WHEEL MOVEMENT. Check cable tension. ‘Observe motion of the pulleys. Check cables visually. Check visually. Check visually, Check visually. ‘Check connections where used. ‘Adjust cables to proper tension, Replace defective pulleys, Install cables correctly. Replace bellerank. Replace, Replace, Loosen, then tighten properly and resafety. Improper adjustment of cables. Improper adjustment of aileron push-pull rods. CONTROL WHEEL NOT LEVEL WITH AILERONS NEUTRAL. Check rigging. Check rigging. Readjust cable turnbuckles. Adjust push-pull rods to obtain proper alignment, Chain not properly adjusted on sprockets. DUAL CONTROL WHEELS NOT COORDINATED. Check rigging of chain, Adjust chain on sprockets. Bellcranks or push-pull rods not adjusted properly. INCORRECT AILERON TRAVEL. Check rigging, Adjust in accordance with rigging procedure, 6-8, REMOVAL OF CONTROL TEE. (See figure 6-1.) ‘a, Disconnect the two aileron control cables from the bellerank (29), b, Remove bolt (24) which attaches the elevator 6-9, REPLACEMENT OF CONTROL TEE. figure 6-1.) To replace the control tee reverse the (Bee procedure as outlined in paragraph 6-8, Before pro- push-pull tube (22) to control tee (28). ¢c. Remove bolt (15) whieh attaches each control ‘wheel tube (16) to universal joint (14). d, Remove the control tee pivot bolt (23). ceeding with rigging, it may be necessary to adjust the length of the turnbuckles (1, 2, 19, and 20) to ine up the control wheels. Control tee cable tension should be only enough to remove slack without bind~ ing. Rig the aileron system per paragraph 6-20.
