Hello everyone! We received our kit a few months ago and it has been a very rewarding process so far! This part of the forum has been a lot of fun to watch and figured I should jump in as well! I have really enjoyed following everyones builds and I have learned a lot.
We came up with the Quad Fox because we just added a new baby girl to the family and now we have 4 of us building the plane! I have tried to make it as much as a family project as I can!
We a currently working on the rudder pedals. I have begun fitting the torque tubes with the bearings and only had to remove a little of the powder coating from the inside of the right pilot side pedal but the co pilot side still has a bit of friction. i have tried to leave the torque tubes untouched but I think I may need to remove some powder coating to account for the co pilot left pedal has a bit of a bow in it. I have seen some of you try to straighten it out and I have played with that without much luck. There isn't any friction depending on the bearing location but there are times as the bearing rotates it will grab in certain areas then there is a little friction.
I have noticed that the bolt that goes through the torque tube bushing on the mounting bracket isnt anywhere close to the right length. Has anyone else had seen that? Seems odd that it would be that far off and the fix would be to go up a size. The manual calls for a AN4-11A the threads barely reach the nylock part of the nut so i dont think just a thin washer will fix it.
The holidays have been a slow build time but we look forward to getting back at it!
