Spent some more time on the dual prop / engine controls. This is the dual prop controls - lower location is the P1 side. |
|
This is the custom bracket for the throttle - not sure of which sides make most sense for the P1 or P2 yet - but a detail. New alignment seems to be working well. |
|
These are the new stainless steel arms that Dad has been making - P1 side - we have added a little height and 'kink' to both arms and reduced the distance between the pivot and the clevis pin - this increases the leverage. It is amazing the amount of difference in feel for only a 5mm change in location. |
|
And the P2 side. For information the Prop is 60mm between centers and the Throttle is 66mm. Although it will probably be reduced by 3 or 6mm depending on the travel needed for full throw. |
|
The main work for the day was fairings, including sanding and cleaning up the nose gear intersection. |
|
Also finished drilling and mounting the nose / main sections. |
