Okay, I know there's been a million posts and the subject is polarizing, but I'm going to start with the original design of a push/pull steering rod. My S1 came configured with chain and springs, and I may go back to that, but I want to try both. I fabricated the rod as pictured below and it seems to work well statically. I will do taxi tests next. The one main concern I have is rudder throw. The springs allowed it to hit the stops. The travel on the new castoring tailwheel prevents full deflection. I cannot seem to find degree of angle for rudder deflection in the plans. The horn is about a 1/4" from the stops currently, but I have to believe max throw is better? Any advise from the gurus here?
Cheers
