Extracted the pedals from the aircraft yesterday and photographed the problem. Already have pictures from Nick on the reinforcing solution. All Esqual owners that haven't done the mod please note.
Other picture shows the easy access afforded with the plane fuse hanging from the roof. Got this idea from some Arion pics and use it last time I had the engine off.
Other work involves putting 1.5 degrees on the stabiliser, this I hope will increase the stability which is a prerequisite for a UK permit. Thanks again to Nick for this suggestion.
Currently the plane doesn't recover from an induced push forward. Mind you, it doesn't accelerate the dive toward the ground as it did with the bungee trim. It settled into a 125 knot dive on the last test.
So moving forward and now ready to fit the new parts and turn it the right way up again!
I've ordered the LS parts as well, cause, in the words of my beloved wife, 'I just can't stop spending money on that thing'………..
