Hi Phil, Only just started my KR build, I can understand your reasoning for your reply.
I think what you maybe asking for is a standard question in a standard configuration. Like most KR builders a lot of these designs have been changed to suit their own likes, as you are with your longer stick mods. To get the stick travel answer as requested, you may end up with so many different answers you will be no better of. If it was me, I would set the aileron to the maximum travel expected and secure it in place temporally. Working back from there I would see where the stick is at for movement, and make any adjustments required at the bell cranks and attachment points until stick and aileron movement is what you require. You may even need to make some minor modifications to achieve this. Drill a different hole in a bell crank for example. It is hard to get a standard answer when not all are standard, this is what homebuilt aviation is about. Sorry if this did not help. Cheers Brian Qld Aust. ----- Original Message ----- From: <phill.h...@gmail.com> To: "KRnet" <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2012 10:43 AM Subject: Re: Re: KR> Aileron cable travel Many of you guys have the advantage of having completed your planes and others have not. I don't know why you join a list like this if you are not really going to help/share your knowledge and experience. Are you going to tell me I don't really want to know what I just asked? Really? Could you just remember back to the days when you were still building please and treat others the way you would want to be treated? Would you want to be encouraged or discouraged? Sometimes this list is really great but other times it's a real downer. Everyone told me how great KR builders were and how happy they are to help and answer questions. Really? <sigh> Did I ask for aileron travel? No, I asked for aileron cable travel. Two totally different things are they not? A builder will understand that these are totally different things. So, once again for the hard of hearing...I have built my own version of a dual stick aileron control system based on the stock geometry. Stick pivot to cable eye is 2.5", as spec'd out in my plan book. What is unknown is whether or not my stick will allow enough movement side to side to move the cables enough to get the ailerons to move the prescribed amount. Not having a working STOCK system to work from, I was just asking if someone with STOCK stick assembly would measure how far the cable travels during aileron deflection from stop to stop so I can tell if my clearances are ok. That's all. On , Pat and Robin Russo <patru...@myfairpoint.net> wrote: > Ditto to comment already made. Adding a 2nd stick does not change aileron > travel unless you change the pivot geometry.
