Mar 30, 2020     Rudder pedals and brakes, flap control - (7 hours)       Category: Fuselage
Finished mounting both front and back rudder pedals. I'm intending to install heel brakes in the back so as not to have toe brake pedals standing up in the way beside the front seat. I haven't bought them yet. More research required.

Yesterday I couldn't mount master cylinders to brake pedals because the clevises on the Gerdes cylinders appeared be too short. Mark G advised that there are longer clevises supplied in the kit which fit without modification. Yup. They are provided! We found them and indeed they do fit. Perfectly! Rudder springs are not included, however. Mark advises that they are available in hardware stores, and not to get ones which apply a lot of tension. Just enough to stand the pedals up. All in all, I'm very pleased with the fit and finish of the rudder and brake components.

Tried to start on the control stick/torque tube assembly, but couldn't find instruction or plans showing how to attach to fuselage.

Assembled and installed flap actuator assembly. No spring found in kit for the button on the stick, so I have to find out what it is and where to find it.
