I added a few pics of the control stick and the flaperon stops installed
I have seen a few pics of the pitch rod /yoke detail , a few guys have cut large holes in the passenger seat side panel , i didnt like that and thought there has to be somthing a little better .
I bent the yoke side plate to get the pitch rod under the control tube as you can see in the pics , a simple fix !
I actually went a little to far but it will work .
As you can see i do not have the proper nuts on yet and the wiring is for the headset jacks . I have them in the front seat vertical one on each side
and a took a few pics of the flaperon stops. I think they are not the best spot for them becouse when you hit the stops with the yoke a little more pressure( I know its an issue but sombody else could put a lot more force on the sticks at the stops) the hole tube twists! Not sure what else would be better though.
Of course you have to get the wings and flaperons on to set the travel in degrees and install the stops
One thing i didnt for see is that i will need some kind of flap indicator , I was wondering what everybody else has done in that regard?
hope it helps somebody!!
