You should study this page on my web site on how I did my flight controls.

Yeah, that's probably true. They also might have a bit more slop than
regular cables. But since there are well known aircraft using them
apparently quite successfully, these obviously aren't showstopper issues.

If you guys think about the KR design, the planes were to be as light, simple
and inexpensive as possible. ?Also back when Ken and Stu drew up the plans,
even boats were still using pulleys for steering. ?The push/pull cables were
relatively new to the market for boats and would have been far he

Just wondering if anyone has tried this idea...the diehl tricycle

install a long bracket so they can install a pulley midway from front to
rear spar outboard of the landing gear mount. Why not install a pulley to
the front spar
Just to re-inforce what Larry said, mine are the same and the result is the
same.

My controls are all cable and I tried not to over tension
Larry: does your airplane have cables or pushrods for the control connections
between stick and control surfaces? Pushrods will produce nearly zero lash,
while cables will always have a little slop or play unless you tension the heck
out of them or use heavy cables, in which case you're probab

Disclaimer: my Air Camper is wood frame with fabric covering and cruise speed
is 70MPH. That said, I can second what Mark L. wrote about rigging the
ailerons with the trailing edge just a smidge low on both sides. My control
cables aren't twangy tight but even if they were, the rigging trick
Mine is completely stock KR2, RAF profiles etc. This is the first I've
heard of that.

And to add to what Larry said, if you're using the new airfoil, you'll want
to rig the ailerons so that they are both about 3/16" low at the trailing
edge when centered. This is due to the lift on the aft edge of the airfoil
taking the slack out of the aileron system. At least that's the way m

I don't have my book in front of me but look at
Kind of hard to tell from the side like that. I think you have your "up"
and "down" labels on your pics mixed up. When the bell crank pushes
outward, the aileron should go up.
Either way, good to see an actual example. That's not how mine is.

What is considered the neutral position of the aileron bell crank? Is it as

Mine is rigged but there's no way the control rods to the ailerons fit
