Ames" (by way of Marvin Kaye ) Subject: Re: LC20 Dual Rudder Controls X-Mailing-List: lancair.list@olsusa.com Mime-Version: 1.0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> I am installing dual rudder/brake controls for my copilot wife and had occassion to call Don Goetz today with a question about the cable standoffs at FS128. Without any prompting from me, he launched into a discussion about how their dual system was a poor design due to binding and built in friction problems, etc. He stated that it would be best not to connect the copilot to rudder but if I was determined to do so, 'problems' could be eliminated if I would just run two independent sets of cables from the controls all the way back to the rudder. Well, I guess it's time for another can of beer while I ponder this subject. So the questions are...are any of you running dual controls and are you happy with them? Any problems and what if anything would you suggest doing differently? Rudderless Angier Ames
