Ideas

• Rudder Hinge Fabric Attachment (Ron Jones/ Cal Brubaker)
  • Provides a place to attach the fabric on the bottom of the rudder and keeps the fabric out of the hinge.

  • .040 (thickness doesn't really matter) fabricated channel welded between horn and bottom of rudder.

• Hinge Fairings (Ron Jones)
  • Creates an attachment point for the covering away from the hinges.

  • Aluminum Sheet bent into a fairing that goes around hinges for fabric attachment.\

• APU Plug on Boot Cowl - Easy to jump, close to battery
• Landing lights NOT in wings (reduces strength per Pat Fagan), put them in the cowl or somewhere else
• Rudder Trim (Kelley Babin)
  • Allow for in-cockpit adjustment of rudder trim, eliminate an external fixed tab

  • Possibly use this tensioner with own attachment system: http://www.mlblueskunk.com/Rudder_Trim_System.html
  • Also a good idea, see if non-stc install is cheaper http://www.stevesaircraft.com/ruddertrimstc.php
• Headrests (Jared Yates)
  • Comfort and safety item, adds weight though...

• Cable Guards (various people, avipro manual)
  • Jared has good dimensions here: http://jaredyates.com/bearhawk/?p=272
• Join removable panel over/behind instrument panel with stiffener angles so it mounts flush.
