Brady, one of the key things to making the geometry on the pedals work is to keep the base of the master cylinder as close to the pivot point of the rudder padal I did this and when I press on the

thanks for sharing Jim, intriguing to know this.?

Here is how I solved the excess MC push rod length. What you see is a 3/8 x 3/4 x 1.5" long piece of key stock, drilled and tapped to thread onto the MC with a jam nut, drilled hole for the pedal

While the brake part stays vertical, no brake should be applied.Hans Yahoo Mail - Correo electrónico simplificado El jue, 27 de feb. de 2025 a la(s) 16:48, David Powell via

I’m sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can’t figure out how the rudder pedals are supposed to move more than a few degrees without applying the brakes inadvertently. As opposed to the

Gene passed away at age 95. Most probably don't know that Gene built airplanes with his son at Santa Paula Airport in CA. Glasair, I think a 3, and a Pitts or maybe a Christen Eagle.? I think Gene

Thanks for the interesting data points, Jim. Great performance even with a 2700 rpm limit. Bob W. summed it up nicely in a previous post, Steve's TW design was/is a quantum leap in performance

Jim, Is your whirlwind prop a 72”? What angle do you have your blades set too? [email protected]> wrote:

You remember correctly, I think that our last record was 236.18 I do have three 20 column sheets with work done and speeds attained that could be turned into a book I suppose. Most people are not

IIRC, Red has exceeded that speed in a SARL race. What a legacy of records. How are you coming on the "Red's Guide to Tailwind Speed" book?

Thank you, Dennis. For those who are not acquainted with the SARL rules, “Red” in the class means no larger than a 320 cu in engine; “Blue” means no larger than 360 cu engine in the

A few comments on racing: Based on trial and error with my Pitts with 76" diameter Sensenich prop I found the best pitch was 60" which allowed a maximum? r'/m of 3300 at 200 statute indicated. I

Matco has an excellent writeup on the geometry. https://matcoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/maxout.pdf check it out. Merle [email protected]> wrote:

The cylinders should be mounted lower and the arm for the top should be on the axis of rotation of the brake pedal. The Clement method was to use a 5/8 square tube for the lower mount and weld a piece

Andy However you do it, i think you are going to have to move the tabs down on the pedals because i don't think you will get enough leverage the way they are now..? the are some good articles on the

First, a bit of back story, I did not build this airframe.. it was started in 80's and 90's. I took over this project from Jim Howell.. I only have a photo album full of actual pictures of the

Thanks for posting Dennis!? These airplanes are incredible.? Even though mine is not as fast as Red's or as fast as many of yours on this forum.? It is just a thrill to be able to routinely?
