REFLECTOR: optional rudder pedal return spring

[Laurence Coen]

Doug,

I used a light spring.  I got it at a hardware store and it is about 3/8" in dia. and 6" long.  It works fine for holding the rudder pedals against the stops.  The factory trainer had really strong springs because of the tendency of newbies to ride the brakes and hang the rudders out during flight.  You had to push pretty hard to stick out a rudder when parked.  Now that I've learned to keep my feet off the rudders, I like my set-up fine

  My plans call the rudder pedal return spring optional, and I don't see any part number in the latest online plans.  Does anyone have the part number of a spring they're happy with?
