| Subject: | Re: Pitch control rod length |
I tried to follow Caleb's suggestion too. And for the most part it worked. Just
be sure to fit the pitch control rod last. I think I had to cut about 15 mm
of the end to get the 30 mm slot right.
I still get elevator cable tension of 30 lbs when I move the stick to the side.
I am going to try 10 lbs and see if that helps.

which would put the horizontal tail bellcrank at approx 75 degrees when the
stick is at 90, or are they both at 90 degrees then the length should be approx
625mm. Thanks.

Tommy, does your top elevator cable clear the top of the channel that supports
the back end of the torque tube? The main reason that I went with a separate
bell crank was that my cable was seriously rubbing on the channel. I now have
a good inch of clearance.

Doug,
I responded to this, but I must have done something wrong as my comments do not
appear.
Yes, we have clearance of the top cable over the back of the channel. Not much,
but it does clear.
I like your idea of the separate control.
