The rudder mechanism needs to
be adjustable. The way it is now, you have to set exactly the right
angle for the rudder in neutral (no drag position) and then wrap the
control cable around the hang tube and tape it in place so it's
really set during construction with no easy way to adjust it once the
glider has been built. The best idea I could think of was to simply add a turnbuckle at the rudder horn. I looked for the smallest one I could find and rigged this with a pin and safety clip at the rudder horn for ease of assembly and breakdown.
How heavy is your Easy Riser?
ReplyDelete62 pounds. Painting the fabric adds a significant amount of weight. Unfortunately I did not weigh it prior to painting.
Delete62 pounds was an error, I spec'd this at 66 pounds near the end of the #17 post titled "Rigging and Final Assembly".
DeleteScanned images of the plans can be found on the Yahoo Groups listing named "easyriser".
