Re: Reflexor

Regarding reflexor, to all the people that are using them, has anyone had any creep or movement with just a normal cable actuating system. I never have, on both my airplanes, but am curious about

Re: Reflexor

I like that idea Vern, I think that will work way better than a coil spring Thanks for the advise guys Mike

Re: Reflexor

The centering detent makes sense and having a "stick" backup to the elevator is also a very viable point. Redundancy is good. So..on this line, my plan is now to incorporate both but for the

Re: Reflexor

I have a vernier cable on my plane as does Fisher. Where I got the idea. Haven’t flown with anything else, so your concern my not be relevant, as I don’t know any other control movement. Seems

Re: Reflexor

Bruce raises a good point here. In an emergency, for example if one or more of the links to the elevator breaks or becomes jammed, the reflexor is a back-up pitch control, you would like it to be

Re: Reflexor

Thanks Chris, any chance you have a part # for the throttle handle?

Re: Reflexor

Mike--------------- My reflexor is set with the control on the forward side of the bulkhead, same design as yours. Because the reflexor donut is snug and the aileron torque tube is well lubricated

Re: Reflexor

Applied torque to the eccentric due to reflexed aileron control rods << Reaction torque due to friction at the O.D. of the eccentric. I'll bet vibration and "walking" are the biggest issues

Reflexor

Hi guys I took a side step from my reflexor installationfor a bit. The reflexor itself is done but I'm now wondering about the control. I'd like to use a handle located next to the two finger
