1 The critical parts of the aileron control system must be designed for a single tangential force with a limit value equal to 1.25 times the couple force determined from these criteria. | ||
2 D = wheel diameter (inches). | ||
3 The unsymmetrical forces must be applied at one of the normal handgrip points on the periphery of the control wheel. |
