CONTROL STICK INSTALLATION
.....
Install the control stick only after the fuselage has been
assembled and the fuel tank, center console, and side consoles have been
installed.
.....
The control stick is installed on the center console so that it may
be actuated by either the pilot's right hand, or by the passenger's left
hand.
.....
In order to make your Q2 have that "custom fitted" appearance, sit
in the cockpit in a comfortable posit¬ ion that allows you to both see
out of the cockpit and reach the rudder pedals. Rest your right hand on
the center console and estimate where the control stick should be placed
fore and aft to .be most comfortable; mark that point somehow for future
reference.
.....
Next, assemble QCSA1 to QCSA2. It is important that the bolt
tighten down on the spacer, not QCSA1, to allow the stick to pivot
freely.
.....
Find the QCS3 spacer material and cut it into two pieces. Also,
find the three phenolic bearings CS1 and CS4 (2).
.....
Study the sketches carefully. CS2 is the longitudinal aileron
torque tube, which is made out of 3/4" 0.D. by 0.035" wall 202413
Aluminum tubing. It needs to be approximately 44" long, but, as you can
see, the exact length will be determined on installation, so make it
long. CS2 translates the rotary motion of the control stick (for roll
control) back to QCSA3, the aileron bell crank, from whence the two
vertical push pull tubes CS5 and CS12 actuate the two Q2CSA41s which
move the ailerons.
.....
From your previous determination of the proper control stick
location, you can decide how much to trim back the center console so
that the CS1 bearing can be attached with flox and 2 Blp at the forward
edge of the center console.
