     7.   Primary flying controls and locking devices

      (a) The control column (37) is of the spade-grip pattern
          and incorporates the brake lever and gun and cannon
          firing control.   The rudder pedals (41) have two
          positions for the feet and are adjustable for leg
          reach by rotation of star wheels (42) on the sliding
          tubes.
          
      (b) Control locking struts are stowed on the right hand
          side of the cockpit, behind the seat.   To lock the
          control column, the longer strut should be clamped to
          the control column handle at one end and the other
          end inserted in a key-hole slot on the right hand side
          of the seat.   The fixed pin on the free end of the arm
          attached to this strut at the control column and
          should then be inserted in a lug (72) on the starboard
          datum longeron, thus forming a rigid triangle between
          the column, the seat and the longeron.
          
      (c) To lock the rudder pedals, a short bar with a pin at
          each end is attached to the other struts by a cable.
          The longer of the two pins should be inserted in a
          hole in the starboard star wheel bearing and the
          shorter in an eyebolt (77) on the fuselage frame
          directly below the front edge of the seat.   The
          controls should be locked with the seat in the highest
          position.
        
     8.   Flying instruments

          A standard blind flying instrument panel is
          incorporated in the main panel.   The instruments
          comprise airspeed indicator (28), altimeter (30),
          directional gyro (31), artificial horizon (29), rate
          of climb and descent indicator (49), and turn and
          bank indicator (48).

     9.   Trimming tabs

          The electrical trimming tabs are controlled by a hand
          wheel (7) on the left hand side of the cockpit, the
          indicator (21) being on the instrument panel.   The
          rudder trimming tab is controlled by a small hand
          wheel (3) and is not provided with an indicator.   The
          aeroplane tends to turn to starboard when the hand
          wheel is rotated clockwise.
          
     10.  Undercarriage control and indicators (visual and audible)

      (a) The undercarriage selector lever (75) moves in a gated
          quadrant, on the right hand side of the cockpit.   An
          automatic cut-out in the control column moves the selector
          lever into the gate when it is pushed or pulled
          to the full extent of the quadrant.
