Re:New KB-2 in the Air
Sorry Phil,
All Wrong. I copied a set-up I saw at ROC to aviod using the "Rod" that's mounted to the wood flintstone brake.
Chris,
Steve sent the shaft back and had it shortened and he modified the attachment point at the head with a slotted plate. That cured the binding. I'm not sure what else he did, but the friction wheel wasn't comming completely away from the drive wheel. He fixed that too.
As far as the steering goes. Look at pic #4. You'll see two peices of angle aluminum extending past the nosewheel. The peices are mounted to the nosewhell from the inside and joined the the end with another piece. Using KB-3 pedals that have a tab welded at the bottom for spring attachment I simply joined the pedals to the end of the nosewheel extension with spring and chain. I made the extension long, about 10 inches thinking I would have to cut them down, but Steve likes it.
John-
