log 43 late summer 2012

This week, working on the rudder pedal limiter. Glasair manual says to build up a composite structure off the firewall to the pedals. I started doing this and realized how difficult it would be and not a great design off the firewall. Started thinking tension instead of compression. I've built a cable/turnbuckle system that goes forward from the pedal cable arm (center console area) to tie in. Turnbuckles make it adjustable and accessible. Holes drilled and almost installed now. I will pick up the tumbler from the locksmith with new ignition keys today!
