Does anybody have a drawing or picture of the torsion linkage used to drive the ailerons in early Ventus or the rudder in Libelle ? Or can tell me what that's called ? Thanks ! Best Regards, Dave PS: It was used to avoid external bellcranks, with their associated fairings and drag. It's out of favor because it is problematic (cost, weight, stiction, etc), and it turns out the fairings add negligible drag... Big thanks, also from Jud for whom I asked the question, to all those that sent info. Mega-Thanks to: Brad, who emailed pics of the Libelle rudder drive, Colin Bryan from NZ, who emailed pics of the Ventus a/b aileron drive nicely exposed in a damaged wing. Honorable mention to Stanislav Poslušný from Czech Republic, who mailed pics of the 304's rudder drive. The 304 was the last Glasflugel design, and the HPH version is much improved - painted nice bright red instead of drab blue-gray ;-) Thanks also to a couple of folks who emailed pics of the control-circuit schematic from the manual (but you can't see the skew drive in that pic). You guys are great ! Thanks again, Best Regards, Dave "YO electric" |
