G'day all,
I spent a few hours today installing, cursing, removing and finally reinstalling the stick assembly in the -9A today, then tried sitting in it making airplane noises. As you do...
One thing I've noticed is the stick doesnt go forward much beyond the vertical. I'm getting perhaps 30* total throw, and maybe 25* of that is aft of vertical. I think I may have sold myself a little short in the trimming of the inboard seat ribs, as that's what's limiting the stick assembly fore and aft. No big problem to fix, but before I go hacking into the QB fuse, again, I'd like to know it is really necessary.
What are the rest of you getting for fore and aft throw? I'm yet to install the tail feathers so can't really use the elevator travel to set the limits, but I am curious as to the actual distance the stick should move.
Cheers,
