Title: 38-2 thru 38-5: starting in rudder pedals
Trying to get everything that needs EkoPoxy prepped and ready to prime,so I'm skipping ahead a little bit. I had previously prepped the rudder pedals and brake master cylinder brackets so finally it was time to river eat the doublers to the pedals. Based on the diagram in the plans, I misinterpreted which was the front face of the pedals and installed all the rivets backwards. I will need to drill them out and redo. Drilled the center support block per the plans and cut it in half. Match drilled the side support blocks. Bolted everything up and match drilled the center support bracket. Always knew that I didn't want the stock nylon brake lines. Ordered just the firewall lines and gear leg line from TS Flightlines. Also ordered hardware for McMaster Carr to install springs in each master cylinder to prevent brake drag. I may convert to the single bolt pedal support, but those long bolts are $25 a piece! May hold off on that for now. 10/15: got the pedals all drilled out and re-riveted. Then installed the pedals and brake master cylinders. Looks pretty slick and everything moves freely.
