 |
|
Hello there 601 builders,
I am finishing off my brake pedals and brackets for the master cylinders and don't seem to have a great deal of forward travel before the master cyl stops against the base mounting bracket. Could anyone tell me the actual rudder travel when the cables are hooked up?
Thanks in advance
happy building

When I did mine I needed to file the mounting bracket for the cylinders off a bit to give me enough travel on the pedals so that they did not hit the bracket.

I too needed to file the hinge pieces to get the proper travel. Not a big issue to do and retain the proper radius.
One way to check the required travel is when fitting the nose gear. Once you fit the nose gear, you can twist it to it's limits and see the distance that the connecting rods move. It's smaller than you might think. Also when you fit the rudder, you can check it's limits.
