Hello, folks
I am building a CH601-HD, but want to incorporate some of the firewall
changes from the 601XL and 650...
Can someone provide the measurements (including material and thickness) of
6B7-4 (slide cover) and 6B7-5 (steering box slide).
Thanks much
Carlos
CH601-HD, starting to look like and airplane (if you have enough
imagination)

Unfortunately you drawings predate the parts I am interested on...
6B7-4 (slide cover) and 6B7-5 (steering box slide) are shown in the
attached drawing.

Carlos,
I tried that using the same material as the firewall and wasn't all that pleased
with it. I removed the slides and only have the jeep boots on the inside.
Haven't flown it yet but there is no restriction of movement from the slides now.

I have made a antenna switch which allows two com radios to be connected to one
antenna. I didn't want another antenna sticking out. Of course only one can
be keyed at a time. If there is any interest in this, I can post anything from
the PCB artwork to a kit of parts to fully assembled units depending on the interest.
Anyone interested can reply to this or email me at mhubel@nemon.com

Hello, Ron
I am almost done with the parts, so I'll give it a shot - but thanks for
the comment, I'll keep it in mind.
Congratulations on the milestone and good luck
Carlos

I used the shutter idea but didn't bend the dog leg into the fixed portions.
Instead my shutters were 0.025 inch thick while the fixed covers were flat
but spaced out from the firewall with 0.035. As I was designing my solution
I discovered the obvious: the shutters have to be able to move left and
right (a small amount) as well as up and down. Left and right because the
arms on the front gear tube pull the rods left or right as you turn the nose
wheel.
A side point:
Carlos, are your steering rods threaded over their full length? If so then
the threads drag/rasp on the movable metal shutters as the nose wheel turns
left or right. I recall these solutions from other builders:
- fill in the threads with J-B Weld
- cover the rods in thin-walled metal tubing. One builder recommended hollow
metal arrow shafts
- cover the rods with thin shim stock clamped fore and aft with a metal wire
tie (I used the walls of a beer can for the shim stock)
- grind the thread off the sections of the rods that touch the shutters from
a full left to a full right turn (only a little over an inch of travel as I
recall)
The newer rods I have seen are only threaded on the ends with smooth metal
in between so this isn't a problem.
