RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.
Just a quick post while the dope dries. I have had a tough time with the nose gear steering setup. The photos in the build manual show the tiller mounted below the air scoop. I tried it there and HATED IT. Very ugly. Ken at Mosquitobite said he hated it too so he moved it to the middle of the block as per DuBro. The tiller needs to be cut off a little (one hole) and Ken says that a hole drilled in the ply mount wont' hurt it. When you drill the hole in the firewall stay as far outboard as possable to avoid running into the tank. I used a throttle cable with a clevis but you can use your favorite attachment method. You dont' need a huge amount of throw on the steering. Because the TriPacer is so short coupled and the rudder is powerful 30 degrees each way is plenty. Maybe less. I intend to paint the whole area with flat black to make it dissapear.
More later.
