I am back in the UK now and turning my attention to my XP. A few items I wish to change and I wanted to see if anyone had any suitable solutions: Canopy catch - mine has an alu tang that faces backwards. It's fixed to the canopy and cuts people on the forehead ! Any RV type or similar catches been used that leaves the rear of the canopy clear of obstructions ? Brakes - I have the heel operated wooden blocks operating band brakes. Not nice. I was going to go for a Beringer set-up with variable pressure and new wheels & disc brakes - but I did see some other setups from Parker and Grove at the Airventure - I was hoping to go for toe brakes but unsure if any proprietary pedals can be retro fitted ? Trim - elevator trim on mine is by a lead screw being driven about 2.75" end to end to bias springs on the stick - was this the only option ? Anyone use tabs or a servo with sufficient range of travel ? The aircraft is in for undercarriage repair work and I want to specify the modifications as soon as I can to allow work to be carried out at the same time. Thanks, hope you can shed some light on options available.
