GENERAL
(Refer to Figure 1) The EXTRA 300 is standard equipped
with full dual primary flight controls including conventional control sticks and adjustable rudder pedals. The
control surfaces are operated by a direct mechanical linkage. The control surface deflections are shown in Figure 2.
From Ser. N° 64 there is a rubber plugged hole in the bottom
fuselage cover for rear torque tube bearing lubrication .

Free Play in the Control System
With controls (stick and rudder pedals) locked, the free play
measured at the control surfaces must not exceed the values
listed:
Aileron:
±1 mm*
Elevator: ±1 mm*
Trim tab: ±2 mm*
The rudder has a direct cable connection with retracting
springs and is therefore always under tension.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
Control Rod Removal/Installation
Refer to Figure 7. All control rods are attached to the control
levers in the same way with AN bolts, washers and selflocking nuts. The control rods inside the wing are interconnected by ground bonding leads fastened to the rod ends by
additional nuts. So the rod ends have to be disassembled,
when the ground bonding leads shall be disconnected. In
this case also refer to Chapter 27-01-06.
For the EXTRA 300 up to serial No. 53 castle nuts and
cotter pins are used instead of the selflocking nuts (except
the front control stick to control rod connection for which
are also used a selflocking nut).
1 Remove the respective access panels.
NOTE
In case of removal of the control rod connecting the control sticks also observe the instructions given in the
Chapters 27-01-03 and -04.
2 Remove the M6 attachment bolts (1).
3 Remove the control rod.
4 Reverse procedure to install the control rod. Replace
the selflocking nuts.
27-01-02
Bellcrank Removal/Installation
Refer to Figure 7
1 Remove the respective access panels.
2 Remove the adjacend control rods per Chapter 27-0101.
3 Remove the M5 attachment bolt (2).
4 Remove the bellcrank.
5 Reverse procedure to install the bellcrank using sufficient washers (min. 2) at the nut side of the bolt to cover
the shank (except the rocker type bellcrank: use only
one washer on each side). Replace the selflocking nuts.

Control Rod Length Adjustment
The standard measurements are given in Chapter 27-00-02
1 Remove the respective access panels.
2 Disconnect one rod end from the respective bellcrank.
3 Loosen the check nut.
NOTE
It might be necessary to adjust both rod ends to get the
correct length. In this case the free thread of both rod
ends should have the same length.
IMPORTANT
Observe that the rod ends joined to the rocker type
bellcrank should be adjusted long enough not to obstruct
the travel.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that the threaded rod is visible in the check hole
(Figure 9) in any case.

4 Turn the rod end in the desired direction to change the
length.
5 Ensure that the rod end is in proper alignment with the
respective control lever and tighten the check nut.

AILERONS
(Refer to Figure 10) The aileron (1) is direct mechanical
linked to the control sticks (6, 7) by the aileron center
linkage (10) with spade arm, push-pull rods (8), bellcranks
(9) and the torque tube (5). The bell cranks have two sealed
ball bearings. Each aileron is mounted at three points in
spherical bearings pressed into aluminium hinge arms. For
lightning protection reason each hinge arm is grounded to
the corresponding attachment bracket at the aileron by
bonding leads. The rod end bearings of the push-pull rods
located in the wing are also interconnected by bonding
leads. The travel stops (22) are located at the torque tube
next to the rear control stick (7).
To reduce pilot's hand forces the hinge line of the ailerons
is positioned at 25% of the aileron chord. Furthermore, the
ailerons are equipped with spades. To prevent flutter the
ailerons are mass balanced in the overhanging leading edge.
Two access panels are located at the bottom surface of each
side of the wing.

Aileron Rigging
Before beginning any adjustments inspect control rods,
levers and hinges for signs of wear or damage, check if the
control rod lengths correspond with the measurements
given in Chapter 27-00-02. If necessary replace parts and
correct lengths per Chapter 27-01-06.
1 Secure the control stick in the neutral position.
2 Remove the back rest of the front seat and check if the
central bellcrank is in middle position (bolts in the same
distance from the central tube) as shown in Figure 12.

tube and the central bellcrank per Chapter 27-01-05.
4 Reinstall the front seat back rest.
5 Check if the control rods connecting the central
bellcrank and the inner wing bellcranks have a length
of 532 mm (Refer to Chapter 27-00-02).
6 Adjust length if necessary per Chapter 27-01-06.
7 Check if the ailerons are in 0°-position (The trailing
edge bottom of the aileron is in alignment with the
trailing edge bottom of the wing as shown in Figure

Spade Rigging
For roll trim the spade rigging angle of incidence has to be
changed. Insert washer(s) between the spade and the mounting plate (refer to Figure 14). For example: When the
aircraft rolls to the left, insert washer(s) at the front attachment bolt of the right spade.

RUDDER
(Refer to Figure 15) The rudder pedals (4) are connected via
a cable system (17) to the bottom hinge bellcrank (13). The
cables are guided by fairleads (11). Springs (20) keep the
cables under tension when they are not operated. Adjustment (18) is made via multihole sheet metal connections to
the rear pedals. The rudder (3) is mounted at three points in
spherical bearings pressed into a aluminium hinge resp.
into aluminium hinge arms. For lightning protection reason
each hinge (arm) is grounded to the corresponding attachment bracket at the rudder by bonding leads. A travel stop
plate is located at the bottom hinge bracket.
If airplane is factory equipped or retrofitted with electric
actuated rudder pedal adjustment, a second safety stop is
located at the rudder pedal bearing having the only purpose
of protecting the lower brake system fitting in case of
rudder cable failure.
IMPORTANT
This second stop must not be reached under normal
operation conditions. Missallignment or exessive elongation of the rudder cabels will result in misuse of this
second stop and a subsequent overload of the rudder
bearing. An subsequent inflight failure of the footrest
could occur.
To prevent flutter the rudder is mass balanced. The mass
balance weight of the rudder is installed in the rudder horn.

ELEVATOR AND TAB
Refer to Figure 16. The two control sticks (6, 7) are
connected by a push-pull rod (8) inside the torque tube (5).
The control movements are transferred from the rear control stick (7) to the elevator (2) by push-pull rods (8) and
bellcranks (9, 9a). The bell cranks have two sealed ball
bearings. The elevator is mounted at five points in spherical
bearings pressed into aluminium hinge arms. For lightning
protection reason each hinge arm is grounded to the corresponding attachment bracket at the elevator by bonding
leads. The travel stops (22) are located at the torque tube.
The mass balance weight (21) is mounted on the center
bracket of the elevator extending into the fuselage.
An access panel is located at the right side of the rear
fuselage.
Trim Tab
The elevator trim control lever (16) is located at the right
side in the rear cockpit. Pitch trim is done by means of the
trim tab (14) on the right elevator trailing edge operated by
a bowden cable mechanism (15). The trim tab is mounted
by two piano hinges.
The trim tab is not mass balanced.
