Hello Paul I am in the process of building a wooden Supercub replica,
that will eventually run an all-aluminium turbo rotary

(200+ hp), big wheels, etc. I am at the stage now where I have to do the
control column, and I don`t want a
stick in front, I want yoke control for various reasons, the most important
one being that I have zero
stick time. Even the plane I did my tail dragger conversion on, had a yoke
(Texas Taildragger C150).

I know exactly how it works, but can`t seem to get the idea into metal.
Would it be a huge favour
to ask to do me a drawing of a single control arm using a yoke a la Cessna?
So I can have a plan to follow.


This is not about rotaries (yet), but the plane will get a rotary, and Neil
in Aus with
the Glastar Rx8 does live only 15 km. from me... Please?

Regards,


Erik in Oz.


I am at the shop now without my Rhino.
Maybe later.

Paul

Eric,
       Go and look at the high wing that Paul Goad produces in Cowra.  He
has dual yokes instead of sticks.  May be just what you are looking for.
Neil.
