Subject: | Pitch Control stops |
8/6/2010
Hello Fellow KIS Builders, A follow up on pitch control stops:
1) I wrote: "Pitch: For forward stop I just let the control stick bracket
hit the
front edge of the opening in the pilot's seat bottom. For aft stop I
installed a mounting bracket and a long hex socket head cap screw (that
could be adjusted) in the aft side of the bottom of the seat bottom opening.
The control stick bracket would hit the cap screw head to stop aft
movement."
Attached are two pictures of this arrangement.
2) I like the pitch control stop arrangement that Keith posted (see below)
better than mine and would have used that one had I known of it.

my simple pitch control stop is illustrated in this picture.
Aluminium "L" Bracket attached to side of the console tunnel and two
fully
repositionable hose clamps on the main elevator control rod . ( i think i
copied this from Ray Clegg)
(See attached file: DSCN0760.JPG)
for the ailerons the sticks come with a bracket for this specific function
(or at last mine did) , so no need to invent something

Hello Fellow KIS TR-1 Builders, Here is a follow up on aileron control
stops:
1) I wrote: " Aileron: I installed two flat pieces of aluminum, each one
held in place
with a U bracket on the control stick cross over control rod. The aluminum
pieces butted up against part of the control stick support brackets and
could be adjusted by loosening, moving the aluminum pieces, and retightening
the U brackets."
Attached is a picture of this arrangement.
You can see that my description above is not entirely correct. The aluminum
pieces are U bolted to the square cross section mounting cross bar, not the
cross over control rod, and the stop is actually created by the stick itself
hitting the end of the aluminum piece.

Hello Keith, Can you please elaborate on this a bit, maybe a picture? Maybe
I missed something. Thanks.
