KR> Rudder Stops

The 150/152 rudder stops on the rudder horn was in response to loss of control issues during training specifically spin training The original stops were much smaller and could jump over the adjustment stop resulting in jammed rudder and several deaths Regarding stress on cables as a former 152

I'm about to make an argument for stops at the surface only. I think I've got a good argument here. I've had wire cables fail two ways for me. One way, is where the crimp/soldered end/etc tears off the end of the cable. I think I've had that happen three or four times over my lifetime. The oth

The highest loads you'll ever put on your rudder cables and rudder horn are when you are braking if you have toe brakes. The Tony Bingelis books advise using stops at the control surfaces to prevent overload and damage at the control surface hinges when parked with a tailwind, should you happen

too hard. So it looks like we have a reason for something to protect the flight surface from banging over too far, and also the control cable and related from being stressed. Why not both? > Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2015 13:02:04 -0400 > To: krnet at list.krnet.org > Subject: Re: KR>

Ever look at a Cessna? The control stops are at the control surfaces to prevent over stressing the surface due to flight loads, not pilot input. Just sayin' Chris G. Sent from my iPad > On Jun 7, 2015, at 10:00 PM, Flesner via KRnet > wrote: > > At 08:52 PM 6/7/2015, you wrote: > >> I would

I would disagree with Larry on that one. The control surface stops should be as close to the control surface as possible. It is a Canadian requirement to have control stops on all control surfaces. My rudder stops are where the control horn meets the fuselage. A simple bracket was added with adjus
