Happily I am at the covering/priming stage on the Air Camper. Before coveringthe fuselage I am dealing with a few details and one is assuring I have controlstops. A search of the archives gave me plenty of ideas on the ailerons (thighsseem to work well) and ruder. Not so much on the elevator. So, I wouldlike to hear from anyone regarding their solution. I am thinking I will weldto the torque tube some configuration fore and at of the pilot's stick. I justdon't know what, exactly, and perhaps there is something simpler. I am attaching a pic of my fuse. assy. as it appeared when I presented a programmy EAA chapter a couple weeks ago.

Simplest control stop is a metal bar with a slit in it. One end attaches tothe stick and one end attaches to the pulley under the seat. http://westcoastpiet.com/images/Mike%20 ... w.jpgChris T.Sacramento, CaWestcoastpiet.com-----Original Message-----

That's good news, Robert! I hope to someday sit in that nice, comfy seat youbuilt!You should get some good advice on stops, but, to be honest, I have no stopson any controls! The stick hits my knees before bottoming out...the rudderpedals only have so much travel...and the elevator the same. Gary BootheNX308MB-----Original Message-----

Thanks Mike, Chris, Jack... (and Frank)... How elegantly simple. I knew, as always,I could depend on the list to help me out. I will proceed to adapt thisidea and see no reason it will not be the answer.

Mike and Jack,Have you ever had to replace that bolt that slides in the slot. It looks likea neat idea, but I would think the shank of the bolt would wear without some greaseon it.

...and Mikee, just to worry you a little bit more, lately we're having a big politicalbrouhaha about outlawing genetically modified crops here in Oregon. Haveyou ever gone back to look at farm areas where you've flown over with yournoxious "barnstormer smoke" pouring out the stacks?

Good eye Oscar! Yes sir, that is my liquid collision avoidance system in and around airports and for doing fun buzz jobshere and there.I'm not sure if the smoke oil (glorified mineral oil) I've sprayed has caused any root rot or bottom defoliation or has been modifiedfrom the smoke oil bean they extract if out of but it would probably would work great as a laxative if you're constipated.
