X-Mailing-List: lancair.list@olsusa.com Mime-Version: 1.0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> I am trying to decide whether or not to install the recommended return springs from each rudder pedal to to firewall. It just seems like that would add that much more friction in the system. OTOH, maybe the release of pressure on one side would balance out the increase on the other. Hmmmm... Right now, I am of a mind to just use some extra rudder cable and a 3" phenolic pully mounted on the firewall to tie one pedal to the other to perform the same function. Any ideas or comments out there?
