Thank you for taking the time look here. We have just purchased a 2LS with a 80hp, completed and with all FAA paperwork.
It has never flown and we are going over it with a fine tooth comb. All measurements seem to be to plans accept the turtle deck is 2” taller than plans.
My question is concerning the control surfaces and stick throw adjustments.
In my set of plans I have no listing for what the maximum throws are on any control surfaces. It does show one B/W photo and says to chk it with an angle devise but goes no further.
The big reason for my concern is that the aileron stick throw in the cockpit is 13” side to side. That only leaves me 5.5” on each side to pinch against my knees.
That makes it impossible to hold the stick back and have full right to left throw as it buried in my crotch.
Is this normal? Or is some ratio or position off in the rigging. I see in the plans there are two different torque tube horns. I have the non adjustable one. Thanks any info Jeff and Sarah
