Control stick
Worked on the control stick this weekend.
The torque tube (horizontal tube, the stick is mounted on) still needs to be cut to the right length.
The two elevator control cables will be fixed to the two bolts shown in the left photo, one below and one above the pivot point of the control stick.
The back of the torque tube still needs the bell crank that is going to move the ailerons, but I will add that when the wings with the ailerons are done. So that's still a little while away.
I am not adding the back part of the fuselage yet, because I want to do as much as possible in the garage which is not long enough for the whole fuselage, so that will have to wait till I move into the shed just 50m away from the house 🙂
The piece of 2" tube going to the left (forward) of the control stick is now cut of, to give me a "clear view down" !!!
There won't be a floor so, can keep an eye on what's below me 🙂
Next is going to be the LANDING GEAR. Wow making progress I think.
