The trim wheel was fun to make and the ratcheting mechanism is pretty cool. It is a large, (I think 4") pulley machined and fitted with a cable stop/hold and handle. (Pictures attached.) Not shown is that I added a pin through the pulley across the cable end to tie it down and keep the ball from slipping free. "Is it the world's lightest?" No, I don't think so. It weighed in at 577# for my initial W.&.B. to find wing location and C.G. I tried to include everything in that weight to be realistic, however, once I get the plane to a hangar, do final assembly and make sure I have all loose ends tied up, I'll do another weigh in.

Please ignore the rear spring on the left of the picture...it is no longer there. The welded arm has multiple holes to adjust the mechanical advantage, (feel) of the system and the size/type of spring will vary the tension. If small adjustments are required, (?) the turn buckle could be used. You'll want a spring long enough so that it will not restrict full stick travel. I have no way of knowing if the current setup is any good, it may take time to get the correct spring and hole selected on the arm just right while flying.

Your years of labor really paid off. You seem to have Eisemann magnetos, the old non- shielded spark plugs and th e same wires I have. Do you intend to use a radio? If had/ have this same se tup in my Aeronca and the radio interference is horrible on the hand held. I have replaced the wires with shielded wires and the plugs with shielded plu gs. The problem seems to be the "plastic" distributor on the Eisemann A4 mag s, it is not shielded. The mags are great and work well. For now we are goin g NORAD. I will have the exact setup on SkyScout...whenever it is done! It has been fun following your build. Thanks for sharing, Ray Krause Building SkyScout.

From: "biplan53" Two friends of mine worked together and built 2 one piece wings. Just looking at them and I see they take a huge amount of room in the shop. Trying to move them is a 2 man job. If you have plenty of room and someone that is going to help you it might not be undo able. Also it takes a very long work bench. Not trying to be too negative just trying to give a heads up. -------- Building steel fuselage aircamper.
