Study Notes

Wing Structure

Each wing panel is constructed of metal, employing a semi-monocoque design.
The wings are designed with removable tips and access panels for maintenance.
The aileron, flap, main landing gear, and powerplant are all attached to the wing panels.
The wings are attached to the fuselage by inserting the main spars into a spar box carry through.
This spar box serves as a continuous main spar, connecting the two wings.

Fuel System

Each engine nacelle is equipped with a bladder-type fuel tank.
Each fuel tank holds 54 U.S. gallons.
The total fuel capacity of both tanks is 108 U.S. gallons.

Propeller Control

Propeller control levers are located in the center of the power control quadrant.
Moving the control fully aft through the low RPM detent, into the FEATHER position, feathers the propeller.
Feathering takes approximately six seconds.
Unfeathering is accomplished by moving the propeller control forward and engaging the starter until the propeller is wind milling.
