 |
|
I've been noodling on an alternative (spring biased) rudder trim
design. One of the things I need to know from someone that has their
rudder pedals and rudder cables and rudder installed and connected is:
1 _How far does the rudder cable (either side) travel_ ?
With the rudder in 'neutral' position (each rudder pedal in-line with
the other). when you depress the pilot side RIGHT rudder pedal how far
forward does the rudder cable move until the rudder hits it's stop?
Similarly, with the pedals neutral again, when you move the pilot side
LEFT rudder pedal forward until the rudder hits the stop, how far aft
did/does the rudder cable that is connected to the pilot side right
rudder pedal move?
I would greatly appreciate any help in obtaining the above information.

I have studied the rudder system some and although mine is not completely
assembled I offer the following:
The rudder cables travel stop to stop approx. 4.25". As you know the stops
are on the rudder horn where the stop tabs hit the stops on the main spar of
the vertical. Each cable moves half the total travel or approx. 2.125" from
neutral to forward or aft. The pedals travel more than the rudder cable so
if someone confirms the measurement they are best to mark the cable where it
exits the tailcone with a piece of tape and then swing the rudder to the
other side.
How are these springs going to hook up? Are they in the line of the rudder
cable or just attached to the cable?
