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?
