--> RV9-List message posted by: "Snow, Daniel A." <Daniel.Snow@wancdf.com>
I haven't mounted the elevator yet, so I don't know how far the control stick needs
to travel in the forward direction. The seat floor ribs are preventing mine
from touching the panel. Could someone please tell me how much forward travel
the control stick needs with the elevator installed?
thanks

Ive just installed it per plans e no problem.
Dont worried about it and go on.
It will be fine.
After the first few hours you could decide about cut or not the control stick.
My option
ie "not cut".

Ol JC
Pelo que estou vendo, tem voado bastante.
O meu ainda falta um pouco. J montei o motor Subaru, mas falta a cowling ,
terminar a canopy, alguma coisa de fios elctricos e instrumentos, e a
pintura.

Ol Carlos:
Bom receber notcias suas. Espero que esteja gostando do trabalho de montar o RV-9A.
O PU-JCI uma excelente mquina. Mesmo com hlice de passo fixo ainda fao uns 150
Knots ao nvel do mar, com 30C, com 30 litros/hora. Bom demais.
Abaixo transcrevi em ingls para evitar chateao do moderador da lista.
Abraos

(Its so good to receive some news from you. Hope you are haveing fun building the
RV-9A.
The PU-JCI is an excelent flying machine. Even with a fixed pitch prop it flies
at 150
knots at sea level air temp 30C and 30 l/h. Nice.)

Dean,
I have done 2 VM 1000 panels using hand tools. I cut a rough opening with a
saber saw, then lots of filing. It can be done.

Daniel and others:
I don't understand how you can have a "problem" with the seat floor ribs.
You should resolve this problem - or at least understand the implications,
after you have fully installed the elevators, push tubes and temporarily
installed the sticks. I used a string to imitate the panel bottom edge by
connecting it to the side air vents where the panel bottom should be. I
then determined how much I needed to shorten the two sticks, in order to
clear the panel bottom. I wanted the sticks fairly long since the RV-9A
would be fairly sensitive to handling. A short stick would make handling
more "touchy". I would not want a first flight where I needed more forward
stick travel - - and the panel blocked it. I cut my sticks, somewhat.
Consider the consequences of a lack of full stick travel. I hope that this
is the problem you were asking about. . . .

FYI - I had the same concern when I first installed my sticks. They hit
the throttle quadrant I installed, the panel, everywhere.
Once the elevators and ailerons were installed they no longer hit as the
flight surfaces would hit their respective stops before the sticks would
hit the panel, and that is with the wood grips in place.
AS someone else mentioned, don't cut them until your plane is fully
assembled.

I found that my stick reached full forward travel before
touching the panel - elevator's, push-pull tubes and bellcrank
all connected ...

I had problems at first with the column cross bar hitting the floor ribs
even after the elevator and stops were installed. To cure this I had to
increase the length of the short forward control tube. When I got to look=
ing
at it closely, I could see the need to do this because with the elevator =
in
center position the stick was way out of perpendicular. Once I changed th=
at
there was no problem. I'm really sorry at this point that I welded or
riveted all the control tube ends in before I really got everything
assembled. Van's drawings and figures aren't always right and don't even
work out true on his quick-build stuff that is already together. I think =
I
saw someone calling it being "VANdalized"

The problem may be interference with the throttle knob. I cut some off the stick
so that it would not get hung up under the throttle when it is pulled out.

Hi Folks,
Your making way too much of a deal about this. Any
time you second guess the designer your looking for
trouble. I installed my sticks the way they were
delivered and their fine.
It takes very little control input to fly an RV. You
almost never take the controls to the stops.
Put it together the way the plans tell you to and you
will be happy with the results.
