| X.4239. Extract from Rl/M21.8.22. X.4219. X.4086. 6. Goshawk.11. CONTROLS X.4239. The controls on 6-Goshawk-11 were so arranged that the engine would not stop. Mr. Elliott examined it and found the vertical rods of the throttle too short and the levers generally were not in the place as arranged on our LeC. drawings, the angles being wrong - kindly send new rod. It was also noticed that there was excessive slack in the joints of this control. Fortunately it did not appear to do any real harm. It was not the ball joints but the plain pin joints. In one case the split pin was out of the pin. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
