　　　　 This little baby has no rudder pedals. To better understand this - remember that rudders (foot pedals) move the vertical tail piece to make the airplane swivel left and right about it's axis. Thus the rudder usually also steers the plane on the ground. Having no rudders - this design steers just like car. Turn the yoke (steering wheel) and the nose wheel　steers. But at the same time the yoke moves the ailerons which in the air banks the plane left and right. As the ailerons move the rudders move 11% giving the aircraft pure coordinated turns. All without rudder pedals. I know many pilots flying very sophisticated planes who　 love to fly with me for that $50 hamburger. It would be criminal to install rudders in an airplane who by the FAA own standards rate it as the "safest airplane ever manufactured".

Many repairs and A.D.'s required attention during the annual. (Dec 1/08 thru Feb 4/09). Working with a local A&P we found numerous 'smoking rivets', cracks in the skin, and a serious 'small' crack in the read center section spar. All bad rivets were bucked and skin cracks repaired with doublers after being 'stop-drilled'. The lone A.D. repair was to install eight wing inspection panels below the right and left wing roots. A minimum of seven ‘Form 377’s’ were accepted by the FAA for the repairs, A.D.’s and upgrades.
