Control System

    Home  Project Log  Links.

Here is the landing break.  The plane needs some additional drag to increase its decent rate for landing.  This landing break is electric actuated. I opted for electric rather than a hand crank.

Here we are working on the torque tubes.  This will transmit control stick movements to the elevators and ailerons.  I floxed bearings into holders I made from G10 phenolic. If I ever replace the bearings I will buy shielded rather than sealed.  The seals create some drag.

All of the parts were installed with flox and bid tape. It work very well.  The control action is very smooth.
