WIX-C08 and WIX-C07 (optional dual control installation)
by Rynoth » Thu Oct 02, 2014 7:12 pm
I just want to mention this to save others from the panic attack I experienced today.
The Waiex by default has dual control sticks/lowered seat mod. I had already completed my seat installation. When I had a look at these 2 pages today it seemed as if -C08/-C07 were newer versions of the seat installation (among other things) and I may have to redo a lot of work.
It turns out that -C08/-C07 are actually for installing the "Sport Trainer" modifications... that is, center-placed flaps, brakes, trim, etc. I'm not sure why Sonex named it "dual control installation", but there you have it. If you want flaps/brakes/trim on the left side of the cockpit, you can ignore these plan pages.
If you want to do this mod, make sure you take into consideration the notes on -C07 prior to getting very far into the build for your forward fuselage.

My summary of this page so far:
The C08-11 flap and brake mount angle, -12 flap detent bracket, -13 brake detent bracket, -10 center support angle must be fabricated and fitted.
