[rebel-builders] Moose control sticks

[Richard Wampach]

Hi Jason, as a retired "rocket scientist", I can say sounds like you are
right on! you may have to remove some of the finish to get one to slide
over the other, they are a very close tolerance, at least on my moose.

If you are going to use a hand grip mounted in the top you will probably
have to shorten them a bit as you could hit the instrument panel or side
wall. Check it out with the elevator and ailerons hooked up for full
travel.

Guys,

I couldn't find any reference in the manual to
mounting the control sticks in the control bases
(CC-36 i think?).

I'm sure it's not rocket science, but I am guessing 2
to 3 inches overlap and a bolt with fibre nut? Sound
ok?

Thanks, -Jason

On my Moose, the sticks had to be "sanded" slightly to slip in the sockets.
However, I think they need two bolts (preferably 90* to each other) to keep
any play out of the sticks and sockets. I, likewise, had to shorten them
some, especially when adding a grip with switches; and to prevent hitting
the side panels. I also added some extra "bend" for both comfort and to
prevent the stick from hitting the panel. A local boat shop with a tube
bender made this easy.

You guys that are flying which way do you have the stick installed it is
longer on one end ??? Since you are already flying is one way more
comfortable then the other. I have seen these installed either way.. long
side down and long side up ??? Could you guys give some insight as to what
you have found... ???
