When I pre-flighted my coupe today, the left rudder was displaced to left. Loose until pushed all the way to the right, at which point, it displaced the right rudder, the tiny bit the opposite rudder moves as usual. After a panic over images of ruptured cables and major repairs I discovered that the right return spring had broken. I wish I had found that before I removed all those access panels, although it was encouraging to see all the cable connections intact. In fact, the PO or someone even further down the line had use very cheap springs that were bent to form the hook. I temporarily 'fixed' it the same way. So I have two questions. 1) Were can you get the 'real' spring for this purpose. I realize that there are a couple of aftermarket rudder pedal kits, so there may be more than one answer. And please, I don't want to start a flame war over whether ercoupes should have rudder pedals at all, etc, etc,,, 2) Does anyone have a good design for gust locks to decrease the wind strain on these components. I as yet don't have a place to keep it out of the wind. Thanks Rob __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
