Joe;
It may be that kits of our vintage (late 90's) did not come with those
springs - just the springs that attach at the pedals.  I chose to use those
springs at the wing root cable junction, and no springs at the pedals.

Finally got a Sunday off to work on the plane.  So Idediced to rig the
rudders.  Not the first time, but believe it or not I am missing a part.
The instructions refer to part VCAS-01 (spring at the junction between the 2
rudder cables), which my kit did not seem to be blessed with.  Can anyone
give me any of the specs for this spring?  Length, Lod range, initial
tension and max deflection.

I would be thrilled if I could just get the overall length.  Load would be a
blessing.

Any info on the suggested optional rudder pedal return spring would also be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe
