Did most everyone mount as per plans? With the long fuselage, did you mountper short fuselage plans? Did anyone adjust fore and aft slightly forcorrect fit? The two different plans call for the centerline of the bar tobe between 3" and 3-1/2" above the floorboard. Anyone remember theirmounting height? Higher better? Any input is appreciated!Thanks,JackDSM________________________________________________________________________________

JackYou can not raise the rudder bar much higher because it will interfere withthe bar connecting the control sticks. I moved mine fore and aft a bit forbetter fit for me. Then I took it out and put in rudder pedals for a betterfit. Now I am considering the bar again.As for you other post, follow the 1934 plans. The F&G plans will work butthe the 1934 plans are for the "Improved Air Camper". I figure its justpart of the improvements and he must of had some good reason to change.ChrisSacramento, CaWestcoastpiet.com _____
