I just ran mine to the full flap position, and the clearance from the floor,
at the bottom
of the bend in the flap drive tube is 35mm, given the hardware is the same,
other than the
method of actuation, you should be alright if you aim for a height of 30mm
max for the lines.
the rudder cables (almost missed this in your first post) at that point are
50mm off the floor.
I have a variation on the singelton tail wheel mod, with the bell crank
mounted on the rear bulkhead
and a pushrod from there to the rudder, which lifts the cables up about 30mm
at the tail, which
given the arm would be about 5mm at the flap drive tube. If you intend to
stay with the original
rudder setup your estimate of 36mm would be safe, if a little conservative.
As far as possible I would suggest fitting AS MUCH stuff as you can,
including the fuel line
you mentioned, before you install the CM, any time spent here will pay you
back 10 fold
later, also when you run the lines up to the firewall be careful not to
encroach on the rudder cable
path. If you measure up (CM up the correct way for you to install in the
A/C) 150mm from the bottom
where it contacts the floor at the firewall, that is where the cables will
be when finally installed
and run a line from there to the rudder pulleys under the seats. Keep than
path clear for the rudder cables
and you will be ok.
If you have any further questions feel free to ask, keeping in mind I am
building a trike so some of my
mods (gascolators in tunnel, fuel selector on top of tunnel) will not be an
option for you.
happy new year

in Mankato?

Hi Craig,
No, I hadn't considered it and after the interchange re Monowheel Flap
Operation I think I will stick with the build manual.
I will go ahead with expecting 4 cm clearance as nobody on the list
appears inclined to offer a fact or an opinion.
