I recall awhile back in a discussion of rudder travel and braking;
someone suggested putting spacer blocks between the canard bulkhead and
the pedal assembly mounting block, to space the pedals further from the
bulkhead.  I believe the objective was to provide more rudder travel
before the brakes applied.

 

I'm not sure what I missed, but wondered if that also required
replacement of the push tubes to allow more free travel.  Maybe that
person recalls and can remind us of what that was about, and how to
achieve it.

 

Thanks,

 

Al
