Brief Description: Rudder pedals and pilot's stick
|
|
Getting the rudder pedals, brake reservoirs, lines, and cables installed was a challange in the tight space just behind the firewall. The brakets attaching the rudder cables to the pedals was cut to length, primed, and installed. Care had to be taken to be sure the various bolts, nuts, and cotter pins did not interfere with other structures.
I installed the instrument panel to run some electrical tests. There were some problems, including marginal potentiometers, improperly wired LEDs, a bad nav radio, etc. In any event, I believe the wiring is now correct.
Next step was to begin work fabricating the control sticks and getting them wire correctly.
