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.

 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.

Hi, there should be no trouble transitioning to a stick.  It is just a bit
odd to go to the additional work, complication and maintenance hassles of a
more complicated control system for a S-Cub class airplane.

Use bicycle chain to convert rotary motion to linear motion.

The aileron part I got working, it is where/how to hinge the control coloumn for the elevators thats got me swamped. Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions.

The simplest way is to mount the yoke on the top of a stick.
