[rebel-builders] SR/Moose control deflection and spacers in

[Ted Waltman]

Jason,

Glad to hear you're having as much fun with the control column as I've had!
<grin>.

I'll measure control column deflection in degrees next time I'm at the
hangar for you. In the meantime, I suspect the stick doesn't move nearly as
much side to side as you see on the bench.

I did put spacers in to center to keep the tangs centered.

Ted

Subject: [rebel-builders] SR/Moose control deflection and spacers in torque
tube

Folks,

Assembled my main torque tube and control sticks this afternoon. Man, what a
difficult job. My fingers are too big!

Anyway, I have a minor interference problem with one of the bolts inside the
torques that connects the CC-36 control stick base and control cable tangs
together. It's at the far end of the travel of the stick. However, I don't
think it's going to be an issue once the controls are rigged.

In the mean time, can someone tell me how far either side of center your
control sticks move laterally side-to-side? maybe measured from the top or
maybe angle in degrees either side of center? I just need a rough figure to
see if this rubbing is going to be a problem.

Also, did everyone install spacers between their CC-36 control base and the
tangs on the control cables to keep them centered? In other words: CC36 ear
- spacer - tang - bearing for inner control tube linking two sticks - tang-
spacer - CC36 ear.

Thanks, -jason
