| Description for Image 1: In this gallery you can see my new non-linked rudder pedal construction. Basic materials were:
| |
| Description for Image 2: the white band is a rubber band as a very primitive centering mechanism. | |
| Description for Image 3: the vertical alu square pipes are both mounted on one axis and attached to the base board with the angle brackets. right below the rubber band, an L-shaped alu profile is used to transmit movement to/from the crossbar (with the yellow gear wheel) where the pot goes (not installed in these pictures). | |
| Description for Image 4: The two threaded rods mounted at the top of the square pipe are the rudder pedals (or where the pedals themselves will be mouted on). This is an M12 threaded rod. | |
| Description for Image 5: The crossbar with the yellow gear wheel. The pot will be mounted right next to it, through the angle backet. Since the crossbar was built some months ago for some other part of the cockpit, it is not a 'clear design', I just used what I had. It consists basically of two L-shaped alu profiles mounted together to form a U-shape. I added another L-shaped alu profile to it, which led to this setup where I had to cut out those two bent-out parts to reach the screws that hold the third L-shaped alu, as seen here. | |
| Description for Image 6: the crossbar is mounted on two connected L-shape brackets, screwed together. | |
| Description for Image 7: This picture shows the L-shaped alu profiles that makes up the crossbar. | |
| Description for Image 8: | |
| Description for Image 9: Here you can see how the pedal arms are connected to the crossbar to allow push/pull type operation. The L-shape alu is attached to the pedal arms with a horizontal screw, and with a vertical screw to the crossbar. | |
| Description for Image 10: The vertical screw in closeup | |
| Description for Image 11: Here you see the 3 L-shaped alu profiles that make up the crossbar in detail | |
| Description for Image 12: another angle | |
| Description for Image 13: middle of the crossbar, with the axis where the gear is mounted. The hole to the left is for the pot | |
