Jun 28, 2022 1.7 Rudder Bars, Brake Pedals Category: Fuselage
Set up the rudder bars and brake pedals horizontally on the worktable. Used the F-6116 blocks to align and support the rudder bars. Shimmed rudder bar and brake pedals to the proper relative height. Reviewed and discussed Drawing 37 with Ellicia. It helps to talk through some things. Changed the relative position per our discussion. Marked the location for the master cylinder mounting hole on each brake pedal. Removed, drilled and reassembled each brake pedal one at a time.

Now it is time to cut the F-6116 blocks in half to make installation and removal of the rudder bars easier and to allow me to add a shim so the bars have less side to side play. The side to side play is required if the blocks aren't split. Measured a F-6116, decided where to cut and set up the band saw for a test cut. Tried a sample cut on wood and it didn't go well. Need to readjust and try again.

Also spent another hour and a half cleaning up the garage and putting away tools. I need to get better about cleaning up while I work.
