I have modified my rudder petals to hinge off a 3/16 bolt and micarta
bushings inside the lower hinge tube with no metal to metal contact. The return springs will also be different and not wrapped around the petal
tubes. My question is where should the petal be when in a neutral position
with rudder centered and cables tight? The best way to measure is probably distance from petal/rudder cable attach point to firewall. This is important as you don't want the petal to touch firewall when fully depressed and its neutral position is important to be in proper position relative to the heel brake petal. I hope this question makes sense as I am
about to start making the rudder control cables.
Thanks
