| Subject: | Re: Elevator Stops on Mark III |
Dee, What I don't see is how the trim system is set up. This is why I asked
about the foreground cable.
When I got my Mk III the trim cable ran all the way back to the elevator
and then back up to the bell crank. The result was that when you pulled
trim, the rudder cable went slack and banged around in the boom tube. It
really made for some crappy control harmony. I could pull back on the stick
and nothing happened. I just had to feel my way around until the elevator
cable became tight again. I created a fix that approximates the current
factory bell crank and I've attached a photo of it.
In honor of my departed friend Jeff Johnson, the tang used to create the
trim link was off Jeff's EipperFormance FlexiFlier.
Hope this helps a bit.
Rick

Hey Rick, thanks for your response. Sounds like my elevator trim is set
up similar to yours; i.e. the springed trim cable goes all the way back
to the elevator up control horn (this is independent from the rudder
cables). I'm simply looking for a good installation for an elevator up
stop. Control stick hitting the seat as mine does is not the best
arrangement.
Thanks for your insight,
Dee LeBlanc

The one in the foreground (the one out of focus) is one of the rudder

Dee, Just don't short change yourself on up elevator. I flew a Mk IIIX at
1280 lb once and I had about 1/4" between the stick and the forward seat
bar just to maintain straight and level.

RightO Rick, my salient need for a elevator stop is because the pivot
bolt on the controls dick jams up against the forwards seat rivets;
thereby preventing unobstructed aileron control. By the way, do you know
how many degrees up and down elevator travel the Mark III is supposed to
get? Mine gets 30=C2=B0 up and 25=C2=B0 down before the elevator bell
crank starts hitting the aft end of the boom.

| Subject: | Video- Boredom Relief |
https://vimeo.com/140472319 password- owyheeflyer
I got a bit bored today, and finely got up enough gumption to roll out the
plane. I had no where specific to go, no where to be, so I just wandered.
It worked, I was no longer bored and not only that I had a job to do-
making a short video. Its kept me busy all the rest of the day.

Here is one, much like mine, not exactly.
I bought my last one several years ago, still looking for that source in my records.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/12v-LED-Battery-charge-alternator-level-indicator-monitor-warning-light-lamp-E-/190401283689?hash=item2c54cd0669
This has dual-range which is nice if you use a trolling motor. Mine doesn't have
this. Think mine is smaller in dia..
$16.98 + $2.99

I noticed that some of the panels are extended towards the pilot. How far is it
practical to extend the panel away from the original fiberglass surface? Four
or five inches or more?
