Rob, I don't know that dimension off hand, but I can tell you a little about my
process. In a nutshell, I adjusted my rudder cable lengths, rudder bar placement
and integrated rudder bar stops/seat supports to fit me comfortably; while
considering seat cushions used and rudder travel. Of course all this was done
with the tail completely assembled and some trial/error.
Those vertical seat supports that the rudder bar stops attach to could have been
made wider, (as viewed along the roll axis) to stop the rudder travel "sooner"
or to accommodate a rudder bar mounted closer to the seat. (Shorter person.)
With the rudder bar/pedals against the aluminum stops, the rudder physically
stops about an inch away from the elevators.
If needed, I can get you that "stop to bar center" measurement.

Mike Perez,
I kind of like those scalloped trailing edges Mike. A distinction that I have never
seen.

Thank you Dan. The look is something I have always enjoyed and one of the first
mods. I wanted to try on the plane. I thought perhaps the covering and tape would
be an issue, but it went very "smoothly"...as it were.

Mike,
I had not seen an update in a while, so I was wondering, what is the status of
your Phase One flight test period? How does your Pietenpol fly?
Enquiring minds want to know!

Ah yes...flying. I can't seem to pull enough time and money together when I need
to, so flight training and first flight has not happened. With the peeps nearing
the end of school and one leaving the house, we figured it best to spend
said time/money taking family vacations/spending time together. Frustrating...you
bet, but the right choice.
All in due time...

Mike,
Thanks for the info. Your process was pretty much what I was thinking of doing.
Your pictures made me think I could get there a little quicker if you had a measurement.
But after I posted the question also thought that everybody's is enough
different that I'll have to make mine work for me. Your airplane looks great.
I hope you get to enjoy flying it soon!
Rob

As I recall, I constructed a new set of rudder bar stops under the front seat when
I rebuilt it and the thing I checked was that the rudder would not contact
the elevator at full deflection to either side. Without stops of some sort,
either the rudder would contact the elevator somewhere along the travel, or the
rudder bar would contact the front seat support. Mike has used that to advantage
by designing the seat supports to be the rudder bar stops, while my stops
are actually glued-in wood pieces that transfer the forward push of the rudder
bar to the ash crosspiece on the floor.
