In Response To: Rudder tinkering *LINK* (Reg Lake)

: Yes, I had been thinking about rudder systems for quite a while and finally
: had to do a mock-up to see if it was viable. This has a nice smooth
: dampened feel to it but can be done more simply, two pistons instead of
: four.

That's wild Reg! Thanks for the inspiration. What are you using for pistons: syringes? How do you secure the hoses? Does it seem like it would be reliable enough? Are we going to see one of these installed... maybe at R2K3?
