Re: KR> GAN pulse of aviation Wicks today, was asking for support for GAN and I was perusing around and found these gems from Sportys new 'T' shirt logos:
It only takes two things to fly: Airspeed and Money” is the message of one shirt. Another charts the four forces of flight, which are dreams (up), reality (down), money (forward) and the FAA (backward). A third shirt explains the FAA mission, which is “We’re not happy until you’re not happy.” Then there’s the dictionary definition of “pilot” which is “the highest form of life on earth.” Gary Canada Merry Christmas all! -----Original Message----- From: Larry&Sallie Flesner Sent: Wed, 23 December 2009 01:30:26 To: KRnet Subject: Re: KR> Tail wheel/rudder interconnection > I don't have any >close up photos.

I attached the tail wheel cable to the rudder cable inside the fuselage and they exit the fuselage through different fair leads. I did this so the "pull angle" of the tail wheel cable is in line with the rudder cable and does not pull the rudder cable at an angle when rudder pressure is applied. Most set ups have the cables connected outside the fuselage and, with the tail wheel on the ground and full rudder peddle deflection, you could be stressing your rudder stop if it is located at the rudder and not on the peddles themselves. Any side loads on my tail wheel, when not running in line with the aircraft, are transferred in a straight line to my peddles and not pulling the rudder cable at an angle causing additional rudder deflection. Clear as mud, right??
