I had a pretty production day. The dual rudder pedals were installed along with the dual brakes. I'll still have to run the tubing and fill the master cylinders with mineral oil, but they are in! The steering rods were also connected to the nose gear, I'm please with how smooth everything is.... after greasing the rudder blocks with white lithuim grease (also not in the manual ;) I want the pedals and steering circuit to be as smooth as possible so the rudder won't be stiff in flight. I also got the center Y stick installed, the torque tube runs aft through the tunnel to connect to the aileron bellcrank. I cleoced the seat pans in, I want to sit in it so bad I can't stand it, but I'm not sure if I'll need them out of the way to run wires and the brake lines.... I may rivet them in anyway :-))) I also installed the dual throttle rods just to prepare for making some engine noises...
I also installed the bungee protector, it shields the bungee from engine heat and prevents the bungee from lashing out a pulling a wire loose if it were to snap, its very well contained now. The throttle bar was also temporarily fitted to check clearances. Of course, I didn't think to paint it earlier, so....
