    Default flight controls

    Where can I find the procedures for rigging and tension of control surfaces for a PA-20?

    Thanks

    Procedures are laid out in the owners flight manual for a 1959 PA22. Id guess PA20 has it too? Tensions, I dont know?

    Tension is to get the fell you want in the controls. The tighter they are the stiffer the controls. I usually go until it has a "firm" feel without it being stiff.
