All of my four bell cranks/ levers are a 1:1 ratio. ?Changing one to 1:1.5 or whatever ?would decrease the force on that pushrods with the increase in travel of the stick. ? I used Mark's concept to designed my own system. ?If you look at his dual stick design. You'll noticed he has adjustment holes in his lever that is welded to his collar. ?So I take it he was planning on making ?adjustments if needed. ?He ended up with using his main spar and his seat for stops. ?If I should be so lucky. ?Your performance may differ.

I'd recommend sticking with the designed geometry." /*That brings up a question I have been wondering about: As designed, how sensitive are the control inputs, and how harmonious are they in pitch and roll? I seem to recall that others have stated that the KR 1 and 2 are quite sensitive in pitch, at least. If true, and if most are built to plan specs for horn lengths and so forth, maybe a little alteration might be in order - so long as full deflection is readily available without undue stick movement? I realize the stretch version may have alleviated some of that reputation in pitch, and builder changes in surface area as variations from plans may do so also. But, why have to fly with fingertips only if a bit of ratio change would make it easier? Someone educate me, please. (second guessing myself, since the cockpits are so tight perhaps stick movement was intentionally restricted?)
