RE: Pfalz DIII resources -- Photos, Drawings, Plans, etc.
Help! I tightened up the aileron control cables and my fears came true - too much friction pulling fine braided steel cable around the small diameter of the proctor pulleys. Does anyone have experience with a different material pulling around a pulley? Anyone think Kevlar is an option here?
I'd also welcome opinions on the practicality of rear-carb inverted engines (since I've never run gas). How often do you really need to access the carb on the flight line? (for tweaking, observing fuel lines, manually choking, etc.)? I was trying to avoid the appearance of a side-mount carb, but since I've put myself in a size range (50cc+) where most of the iron's hanging out the bottom anyway, I'm thinking a rear exhaust (at best reachable through a cover on the bottom of the fuse) will be just too big a pain.
Ideas? Thanks!
