Keith, I just thought of a 4 th way. Take a piece of 1"x0.058 tubing about 2 inches long. Slide one end about an inch over the end of the removable control stick and weld it in place. The open end

That is a great movie. I especially like the part where he sets his lawn on fire! Anthony Hopkins played that part perfectly. [email protected]> wrote:

Thanks everyone for the ideas.? I still have the problem of no lathe so machining is out.? I found a piece of 5/8 tube and i think i am going to do what Bill suggested in his #2 idea.? ? I think

Keith-Get a piece of 3/4 x .065 and machine it toa snug fit inside the 3/4 .035. Rosette weld it into the stick extension and drill for the AN3 bolt.

Keith, What about a piece of Delrin? Can be sanded like the dowel but less likely to crush like wood. Mark [email protected]> wrote:

Keith, Have you tried the Aviation Department at McMaster.com?? They have EVERYTHING. Dan Helsper

Bill, Thanks for your ideas.? I think #2 might be the best option.? That way I don't need to do any welding on the part that is on the existing stick in the airplane.? I could make that up at home

Keith, I've been thinking about your issue with the passenger control stick and I think I have 3 possible fixes. 1) It seems the wooded dowel needs to be slightly larger in diameter. The fix is to

During the build of my Kolb MKIII I kept looking for alternatives to the center stick/ center throttle quadrant and the heel brakes. Five minutes of flying and I was fine with both. Correctly set up,

unless you have a good plan, connecting two throttles and mixture that far apart can be difficult.? My hangar mate is working on that for his Zenith but since the engine is so close, there is not a

Right you are Keith. In fact, the Sonex High Wing will be offered with center stick and outside throttle and mixture controls. If I were building a Tailwind today, I would seriously consider that

Joe, You are correct.? I have flown a Sonex and also a Zenith 750 with the center Y arrangement.? ?As long as you have the throttle on both sides of the panel it is not a big deal.? If you only

I have flown quite a few center-stick airplanes and find them to be quite comfortable. The “center” stick is really a side stick for either seat. Left seat pilots fly with the stick in their

Understood. There have been a large number of iterations on the sticks on Tailwinds. It was an idea I had at one time for one of my long dormant projects. M ________________________________ Sent:
