 |
|
Hi Listers,
In my 601 HD taildragger I had an open system with the rudder cables, i.e.
no nose gear struts. The pedals were connected at the front by a set of
springs to the firewall to keep them from falling backwards when no feet
are placed on them. Tension on the cables in flight solely through the
pressure of the feet on the pedals. The rudder was happy, no flutter, no
vibration, zip. How do other TD builders do this?
Greetings from Oz,
Chris from Perth (just building my first nosewheel XL)
