Hello all,



I was cruising the web looking at some of the ch640 stuff and noticed that the control yoke on the 640 doesn't use bicycle chain on the portion under the panel.  I am curious how this works.  The only ones I have ever seen (not that many) have the chain.  Someone care to explain how this works or maybe post a pic of it?  Just curious.



Thanks,

Nate in OK

Hello,



I think Jeff Paden has the best pictures of the setup for the aileron controls.

Hello,

I built and fly a CH640. I will try and post a picture later, but will try to explain if I can. Starting from the ailerons. Cables from the aileron bell cranks attach to a torque tube which runs forward through the spar. Attached to the forward portion of the torque tube is a vertical tube. Think of it as a single control stick that runs up behind the panel. The photo is looking down on the controls behind the panel and forward is the top of the picture. It is really simple and works well. There is probably a bit more resistance than a system using a chain mechanism.
