When are chains used?
When it’s necessary to change the direction of control runs in systems that use high force
Where on the aircraft can you find chains? (Examples)
Control column installations
aileron and elevator controls
trim control systems
What does a Bi-Planer block do?
Rotates the chain so that the system can change direction
