Due to outside forces the last work session was abbreviated
…. plenty of time was spent at the hangar, but little meaningful actual work on
the RV-12. One of the things accomplished
was temporally placing the rudder/brake assembly in its general position so a permanent
home for the Matco parking brake could be determined. The Matco parking brake
is not part of the Van’s kit … but a nicety being added to the DOG Aviation
RV-12. For the trial fit, the white blocks that hold the rudder/brake assembly
together were held together with wire ties.
Rudder pedal/brake assembly temporally setting
in place so measurements for the Matco parking brake can be made.
Looks like the Matco parking brake will end up
on the right center tunnel rib in this general area.
Decided not to drill any holes for the parking
brake mounting so will take up this task during the next work session.
