3. TAB CONTROLS.
Th~ rab controls are rorated in the dirca:ionof the desired resultant motion of the airplane.
II. AILERON TAB.-A cockpit controlled trim tal
is provided on the left aileron only. The control wheel,
which is set inro the left band shelf, is rotated counter-
clockwise to lower the left wing and clockwise to lower
the right wing. The tab mvel is lO· up IIld 20· down.
A fixed tab on the right aileron is adjusted by
crimping to compensate for wing inequality. A single
letting 00 leaving the factory or following wing repair
is usually sufficient. Be careful not to aimp the tab too
leverely as a slight change in the tab anale will compeo-
Ute {or considerable wing heaviness.
h. ELEVATOR TABS.-lbe elevator tabs an coo.trolled by a handc:rmk 011 me side of the left hand shelf.

Tab travel is through a range from 6- up to
1I· down. These tabs have been found efiectivethrOl.lgb .1 1 ranges of loadings. Trim about the lateral
axis can be checked by means of me gyro horizon.
t.RUDDER TAB.-Tb.e rudder trim tab is COD-
trolled by a wheel mounted On the left band cockpit
shelf. RotatioD tlotltwist' tums the nose right. Rotarion

4. WING FLA.P SYSTEM.
Split_ type wing flaps extend from the ailerons inboardto the fuselage but are divided infO inboard and out-
board Saps by the wing fold. Due to an overlap at the
wing fold, the two sections opet1l.te as a unit capable of

the engine CUL Even though the ~itc'" U cut, the engine,
unless it u completely stopped, will product V1Icuum
with the throttle closed.
The operating force on the Saps is sufficient to hold
the Saps down when the engine u idled. In flight, asmore power u applied and speed increases, the Saps will
come up until, at about 130 knots (ISO MPH), the angle
01 droop will be approximately lO·. If the power Is thenremoved, me Saps will return to the Down position.
This feature is very belpful when it is necessary to goIIrOllnJ IIglli" alter coming in for a landing. .
In • take:oft m e Sap ~.Jve can be left Down until
ample .peed and beight are obtained for forcing Sapsup. If the valve is then turned to U p position, any sink·
ing dect is eliminated.
The detail operation of m e system is described in the
accompanying acbematic diagnm (Figure 3). With
Ibis vacu um I)'S tem the operating e fficie ncy o f the Saps
will be reduced with decreased atmospheric pressun: athigh altitudes.
The flap operating valve control is located on the left
hand ahelf of the cockpit. Rotation dodt.wiu fo r aquarter tum of the handle lowers the Saps; c O I I " ' ' ' ' ·tlodlwise raises them.

d. FUEL QUANTITY GAUGE .-An electric fuel
quandty gauge with the indicator mounted in the right
hand panel shows the fuel level in the main tank only.
No gaugt is provided for the droppable tanks, thereforefuel consumption from these tanks must be determined
from the lapsed time during which fuel is withdrawn.
e. LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT.-On
airplane No. 57044 !lnd subsequent, a low fuel level red
warning light is installed on the left hand instrumentpanel next to the fuel quantity gage which is also in-
stalled on the left hand panel beginning with this in-
stallation. This light goes on when only 30 gallons of
fuel (a minimum of one-half hour of Bying time at
Cruising Power) are left in the main tank.
f. DROPPABLE RJEl TANK REIEASE.-Drop-
pable fuel tank release handles are red painted rings,one located 00 each side of the cockpit on the sides of
the shelves. A sharp pull releases the tanks. The handles
should then be clipped back to shelves in their former

mended grade of oil varies with temperature. The latestservice insrructions and technical orders should be fol-
lowed.
Oil returning from th e engine passes through a ther-mostatic regulator valve mounted on the oil cooler. This
valve causes the oil to by-pass the cooler until the oil-intemperature reaches 21°C at which time the valve starts
to open and then maintains the desired oil-in temperaturerange of 75°C to 90·C. Coid oil by-passing the cooleris discharged into the tank adjacent to the suction outletleading to the oil pump. Much of the same oil is therebykept in circulation, hastening the rise of the oil-in tem-
perature.
b. OIL DILUTION SYSTEM.-This airplane has
provisions for the installation of an oil dilution system.
When the equipment is installed, the system consists of
a solenoid valve electrically operated ~y a momentary
switch on the right hand instrument panel, a single re-
stricted fitting, and a safety shut-off cock located in the
dilution line between the carburetor and oil tank suction
outlet leading to the oil pump.
The Oil Dilution switch is also connected [0 a
second solenoid which simultaneously operates a diverrer
valve in the temperature regulator valve .. This enables
the diluted oil to by-pass the cooler and return (0 thebottom of the oil tank near the suction outlet.
Refer to Section II, Paragraph 20b for operational
instructions for the oil dilution :!Oy:.u:"".

The MP Regwator and W.aUJ' Injection system Control
Unit are mounted together on .aD assembly bracket, The
solenoid valve, which controls the start of Water Injec-
tion operation, is actuated by two switches placed in series
to prevent undesiredwater 80w. One switch is mounted
on the supercharger control quadrant so that movement
of the lever into High Blower position closes this switch.
The second switch is iDcorporated in the throttle control
lever so that movement of the lever put the stop will close
the switch completing the circuit to inaugurare water in-j ection operation.

is exerted on the crank opposite to the desired directionof rotation.
WARNING
While extending the wheels, a point is reachedat which it becomes more difficult to rotate the
crank handle and there may be a tendency for
the pilot to Stop and engage the ratchet lock.
However, the pilot must continue to rotate the
crank handle until it hits a stop indicating that
he gear is fully down.
b. ~CRANK BRAKE.-The landing gear hand-
crank brake is installed on the operating shaft just for-
ward of the hand crank gear box. This unit ratchets
when the landing gear is being raised. When the gear
is being low ered , • pawl engages ch@ drum and the
braking action retards the speed with which the wheeb
are lowered. The single adjusting nut ...hich regulates
the tension on the friction brake must be so adjustedthat the lowering speed of the wheels will not tear the
band crank from the pilot's hand and possibly strip the

The approach light automatically goes on when the
arresting hook is lowered. A manual switch for the
approach light is provided in the after fuselage for use
in practicing attier landings.
g. TAIL WHEEL CASTER LOCK.- The tail wheel
drag link is equipped with a lock pin which locks the
caster in the ttailing position. This lock pin is controlled
by a cable from [he TlliJ Wheel Lo,k lever on the portcockpit shelf. With the lever in the forward position,
the tail wheel is locked; in the aft position the [ail wheel
is free to swivel. i.e. unlocked.
The primary purpose of this lock is [0 reduce the
possibility of ground looping on landing. Lock the tail
wheel immediately after taxiing inro posirion for take-
off. The tail wheel will then remain loclted during
flight and during landing. Unlock the wheel after the
landing run has been completed in order to faciliraretaxiing.
For carrier operation, leave the tail wheel unlocked.
The tail wheel is a 360- swivel type equipped witb
a spring-loaded, self-centering device. The tire is a
high-pressure type. Pressure should be kept at 110
pounds for normal operation and 175 pounds for carrier
operation.

3_ FUEL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT.
Before starting a take-off, switch the fuel selector
valve [0the Main Tank using the emergency fuel pump
to insure the proper system pressure. If droppable fuel
tanks are carried, use about 15 gallons from the main
tank to allow room for vapor return. Then switch to
the droppahle tanks, using that fuel first inasmuch as
the tanks greatly increase drag and cause restrictions
to be placed on maneuvers. When switching tanks,
rurn on the emergency fuel pump. move the selectorswitch to the proper tank, and check engine gauge unit
selected manifold pressure through all conditions of
.flight within the critical altitude of that MP-RPM setting.
As the airplane is climbed the Regulator opens the car-
buretor throttle as necessary to maintain the selected
pressure until at the critical altitude for that operational
setting the carburetor throttle is wide open. If the climbcontinues and RPM is held constant, the Regulator holds
the throttle wide open. Further advance of the throttle
control lever will have no effect as the carburetor throttle
is already wide open.
la-iiiPreliminary calculations suggest that the link-
age between the Regulator and the carburetor
throttle will not permit Regulator to fully
open the throttle when :in lower MP ranges.Until definite information is available, the
pilot may consider the Regulator as fully
automatic at operation above 600/0 power.
When operating below 6 0 0 / c power and mani-
fold pressure starts to fall off, agaIn move the
throttle control lever forward to res elect the
desired MP. The Regulator will then hold
the selected pressure until the critical altitude
(or that MP-RPM setting is reached.
b.Movemcnt of the supercharger control lever from
Low Blower position to High Blower position auto-
matically lowers the throttle selected manifold pressure
about" inches Hg to values approximately consistent
with engine calibration curves.

(1) BEFORE FLIGHT.-During warm up priorto each flight, operate the supercharger in each blower
position for two 30 second periods. Make these shifts
with the engine turn up about I(X)(J RPM.
(2) AFTER FLlGHT.-To desludge the super-
charger more completely; operate the engine in each
blower position at about 1000 RPM for 30 seconds or
more after each flight. The procedure of taxiing land
based airplanes back to the line in high blower satisfies
this requirement. Carrier based aircraft need not desludgeaftee Bight.

to obtain 30 inches Hg and nore RPM.

No unusual charaCteristics exist. Turns of .360· in
either direction may be made with ease. Brakes should
be carefully applied as the airplane has a tendency to
nose over when the brakes are lammed on..
Ia all taxiing operations caution should be exercised
to insure that the tail wheel is unlocked whether the
plane is bandied by a tractor or under its own power.
The tail wheel locking pin may be sheared off otherwise.
As the engine cools during taxiing, further wann-up
is usually required eo bring the cylinder head tempera·
rure above minimum before entering the take-oft' run.

very little advantage over climb with military power at
the same altitude. While the foHowing table gives the

paragraph a, on [he airplane critical altitudes by giving
the airplane critical altitudes while climbing and in levelflight. The Water Injection system (high blower) may be
The crulSlng manifold pressure-RPM relationships
specified in the Engine Calibration Curve should not
be exceeded.
Cruising operations can be carded on at any power
below Normal Rated Power. The best fuel economyis realized at powers below Maximum Cruise.
Use the Flight Operating Instructions Chan to deter-
mine recommended cruising conditions based on fuel
quantity and rate of consumption. Engine senings for
cruising conditions are condensed in the Power Plant
Chan.
b. CHANGING POWER CONDITIONS.
(1) TO INCREASE POWER.

governor. R@adjust the throule, if necessary.
c. SUPERCHARGER OPERATION.
(1) The supercharger high blower should be usedabove 14,000 feet pressure-altitude for normal rated and

cruising at altitudes which cruising power is available
in low blower since greater fuel economy is obtainable
in low ratio.

To jettison the sliding canopy for emergency exit,
grasp the red painted rings on both sides at the forward
end of the canopy and pull aft. This removes the
pins holding the canopy to the track slide allowing the
slip-stream to rear the canopy free. It may be necessaryto give the canopy a slight push up into the air stream
H it is in a full closed position when the r ings are pulled.
CAUTION
The pilot must pull thetwO
emergency releasepins simultaneously 50 that both sides of the
canopy will be freed at approximately the same
time. Should one pin be pulled before the
other the pilot may be trapped or injured if the
airstream jams the canopy on the remaining
pin or whips it over as it is being torn free.

1. OXYGEN SYSTEM.
". DESCRIPTION.-This airplane has a diluter-de-
mand oxygen system. 1e regulator is mounted on the
bulkhead [0the right and aft of the pilot. The pressuregage is mounted at the intake POrt of the regulator. The
flowmeter is mounted in the right hand instrument panel
facing the pilot. The tank jts~1f is mounted in a cradle
behind the pilot's seat. The main control handwheel is
on the forward end of the oxygen cylinder to the rightof the pilot's seat.
, ! - , I " ( . ] : ,Oxygen equipment must be kept free from oil,
grease and easily oxydized materials.
b. OPERATION.
(1) GENERAL.-The diluter-demand regulator
opens a valve to provide a flow of oxygen during each
inhalation. The emergency by-pass valve, incorporated
in the regulator unit, provides a continuous flow of oxy·
gen directly from the cylinder. The diluter valve allows
air from the tockpit to enter the breathing system. The
set to the 0"position, except as -noted above:
(a) On all Bights when above 10,000 feet.
(b) On Sights of more than four hours duration
between 8 to 10,000 feet for a minimum of fifteen min-utes out of every hour.
(e) On njgbt flights when above 5,000 feet.
e. PRE-FLIGHT CHECK.-To assure proper func-
tioning of d::e oxygen system, the following items should
be checked while tbe plane is on the ground prior to
a flight in which oxygen is to be used or is likely to
be used.
(1) Close the Emergency Valve.
(2) Open the cylinder valve. Allow at least ten
seconds for the pressure in line to equalize. The pres·
sure gage should then read 1800 ± 50 p.s.i, if the cylin-
der is fully charged.
(3) Close the cylinder valve. If the pressure dropsmore than 100 pounds in five minutes there is excessive
leakage. In such iii. case the oxygen system should berepaired prior to use.
(4) Check the mask fit by placing the thumb overthe end of the mask tube and inhale lightly. If there

Since th e amoUDt of o xy ge n .d de d is very smal lat sea level the oxygen flow meter may not
operate while the airplane is on the ground.
Inthis cue tum me air-valve to 06 or 1 0 0 %OX1geJ l and rese again. If the oxygen flow indi-
cator operation is now satisfactory, reset the
air-valve to O. or ND 1"fIUd OX1gen . la thissetting adequate oxygen low and "'blinker"
operation will be assured at oxygen altitudes ..
(7) Check the Emrrgency Valve by slowly turning
it counter-clockwisc until the oxygen flows vigorowly
into the mask, then close the Emergency Valve.
Ig."!Upon completion of an oxygen check or anoxy,en flight, dose the cylinder valve.
d. RECHARGING CYLINDER.-To aUow a safe
mar,m 01 oxygen for muimum usage during a iingle
flight, be sure that . tank pressure is at 1800 PSI beforeany takeoff for an oxygen fligbt. At no time should the
residual pressure in die tank be allowed to fall below
300 PSI.The cylinder mwt be removed from the airplane to
be recharged. Close the cylinder valve tightly, discon-
nect the tube at the valve and remove the cylinder from
the cradle, Be IIwe 10 dOJe 'be f)lJlvebefore ,uJCo"ne~l~
;"g tbe ~1linder line. High pressure OxygeD escaping
from a cylinder rramlorms it into a batte.ring tam.
The cylinder is then connected to the recharge
equipment by means of the sleeve nut on the valve. The
cylinder valve is opened aUowing the oxygen to cascade

wrute lead or an y other easily oxidized. mate-
rial from coming in contact with the oxygenequipment. Contact of such materials with
oxygen under pressure may cause explosion.
e. MAN-HOUR OXYGEN CONSUMPTION TA-
BLE.-Figure 33 consists of a man-hour oxygen coo-
sumption table showing the endurance obtainable with
the alr-valve in die 0. and O f f positions until the pres·IW'e falls to 300 PSI.
For example.ifa flight of 5 bours duration at18,500 feet is planned, reference to this table shows that
sufficient oxygen is available for the flight only with
the air valve set to the 0" position. If,however, a flight
with droppable fuel tanks of 9.8 bours duration is
planned at 18,500 feet, reference to th is table shows
that a Bight 0 1 such a duration ca n only be made at15,000 feet altitude.
In preparing lili ftjght plan, the pilot should al-
ways check his proposed time of flight in altitudes above
10,000 feet against die accompanying chart to be certain
sufficient oxygen is available for the light.

1. GENERAL' DISCUSSION.
\Vhen operating in an y locality where any extreme
hot or cold weather conditions exist, or in desere or dryregions where there is an excessive amount of dust andsand in the air, certain precautions or additional oper-
.tions ate necessary to maintain aonnal and safe opera-
tiOD of this airplane. In extreme cold weather, precau.
dons must be taken to prevent m e fcemation of ice oncenain parts of the airplane rendering flight ·imposuble,
just as in extreme hot weather steps must be taken to
prevent overheating of the engine. The steps necessary
for the operation of this airplane under these conditionsare set forth in this section.
2 .. ARCTIC AND COLD WEATHEROPERATION.
(I, WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER.-To defrost thewindshield of this airplane, pull Out the T handle eon-
trol located above the left rudder pedal just forward Q rand below the instrument panel. This introduces heated
air into the space between the double windshield thus
removing and preventing any formation of frost on the
d. ELECfRIC GUN HEATERS.-When operation
of the guns is anticipated under icing conditions, the
pilot should make sure that the gun heater is pluggedin at the inboard gun companme.nt in each wing beforetaking off. When plugged in the gun heaters are can-

When operating under extremely dry and dusty con-ditions, the pilot should set the carburetor alternate air
control fot alternate air during landing, take-off,
all g.round operations and during flight at altitudes
where there is an abnormal amount of dust and sand in
the air. The altetnate ail duct of this airplane is pro-vided with a filter that will remove all dust particles
before entering the carburetor and engine where sand
