Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Rudder angle indicators

Frank,
Have ordered this item.
http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=905-1036-ND
It has the largest internal diameter hole I could find ( about 17mm ). It looks like you
can bore it out to 25mm, so with the casing it could possibly fit a 20mm shaft.
Will let you know in a couple of weeks. Have also ordered a linear 100mm item.

I think I'll buy an off the shelf $10- version & have a go at adapting it.

Hi Alan. Ya, an off the shelf unit makes more sense. You can get a couple as spares and still be way ahead.
I like the round "doughnut" ones too. I saved the link and am looking at using that design. Simple, easy, and hopefully reliable. The round ones could be attached for my dive planes and a strip type would work on the rudder linkage. Very good find. Thanks for that.
