rudder pedal springs
a fellow kind of remembered there was an alternative to springs between the
firewall and each rudder pedal for keeping tension on the rudder cables. Thought something about 2 pullies... anybody know about this? Thanks, Dick |

rudder pedal springs
He remembered some concern over the pullies needing to be mounted loosely
enough to accommodate a pedal being pushed forward without having the cable come out of the sheave... I can't get my head around a good way to accomplish this?

Dan If you are discussing springs from the rudder horn to the tail wheel horn I find that the compression type available from ASS and elsewhere are ideal. Just attach them snug with a light chain. |

Dan If one spring breaks, the other will pull the rudder to one side. -- http://www.ronpaultimeline.com Only if the pilot has no feet. I have 2 springs on my right rudder and 1 spring on the left. It still takes a little right rudder to keep the ball centred at cruise but I'm not worried about any or all springs breaking. Dan's right the springs can be eliminated with a cable, turnbuckle, swages, thimbles, pulleys, brackets, etc. I fail to see what the gain is over a nice light self adjusting system is. |

The pilot will notice it, will have to keep constant pressure on one pedal, and will snag it after he lands if he has any sense at all. There have been pilots on the RAP group who complain that the local rental clunker needs constant right or left pedal pressure to keep the ball anywhere near centered. That airplane will most likely have a busted spring. Most likely the left spring, since it's the one that gets stretched the most often and for the longest time: right rudder on takeoff and climb stretches the left spring. Dan |
