... I'd like to obtain some rudder gears for a IV-P, too.
Barry Knotts
Gentlemen,
Please see the attached memo on how I built the rudder gears for my IV-P.
Haven't flown it yet, but they work just fine on the ground :-)... Although
I drilled the gears to accept a roll pin that would secure them, my experts
assure me that when clamped around the rudder tube it will take more than
100 pounds of force on the rudder pedals to "slip" the gears on the tube, so
I haven't yet pinned them--the assembly will be more difficult to take apart
once this is done...
If any of you are interested in having these made up, my nephew, Jon
Pastusek, at 817-536-6025 in Fort Worth is starting his own machining
business and could do a nice job on these. Please contact him directly at
the phone or email address above for a quote.
