I'm New Here
I'm thrilled to have finally purchased an RV-8. I have a couple of issues which I was unable to answer with prior posts. Maybe I didn't look in the right location.
I'm 6'4 and needed to move the rudder assemble all the way forward. Now that it's moved I need to replace the rudder cables that connect the front rudder assembly with the rear assembly. I need to find cables that are two inches longer than the current cables. Can you purchase the cables or do you need to fabricate new cable assembles?
The tailwheel mechanism has springs on both sides instead of the single bar. The mechanism unlocks during straight taxing. You can manually lock the wheel to the rudder but it unlocks without even turning the aircraft. Are the adjustments that can remedy the situation or will i need to purchase a new tailwheel assembly. Do you purchase the entire assembly or the assembly minus the wheel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
