Re rebel rudder pedals.

[Ian Donaldson]

G'day


I have just rigged up the rudder cables and brakes to the rudder pedals.

What causes me some concern is the amount of oil-canning and flexing of the floor when the rudder or brakes are applied.

Is this normal?

Does it need some reinforcing?

Am I worrying about nothing?.


Regards

G'day Wayne.


Thanks for the response.

I am just about finished. I will be taking the Rebel out to the airfield to start the final assembly this week.


99% done- Now that leaves about 25% still to do!
