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.


Go get some time with a stick.  Once you get used to it, you will like it,
especially in a tandem airplane.  You will notice that the control inputs
with a stick are much more intuitive.  On top of that, the installation will
be simpler and lighter.  The only reason we have yokes in transport type
aircraft is that the control inputs on those types used to be so heavy that
you needed both hands to muscle them around.
