Central States Association
  Newsletter
  Central States Association is an organization of builders and flyers of Rutan-type aircraft. Central States Association produces a quarterly 34 page newsletter dedicated to the Rutan canards and is the only remaining publication of it's kind. Central States membership consists of approximately 1000 canard enthusiasts largely confined to the United States and Canada, there are a few members in Europe, the Pacific islands, and Australia. The newsletter contains invaluable information with much of it devoted to enhancements and modifications. Many very talented flyers and builders provide detailed articles that range from speed enhancements to trip reports. Everyone's continued support of Central States and the newsletter will ensure that it is around for years to come. If you are not a member join today!

Central States as a further service to its members is allowing us to publish the photos of each quarter's newsletter.

A sneak peek into the the July 2005 issue of Central States

Wayne Hicks rudder pedals for the Cozy!

 

 

 

Cozy MK-IV Alternate Rudder Pedals

Terry Schubert (OH) - The plans' rudder pedals have been reported by some as flimsy and are arranged so as to limit foot movement in the front of the fuselage area.

The July issue of the Central States Association Newsletter will have an article by a Wayne Hicks on a solution to that problem. I tried it out and it felt much better and offered more foot room than other Cozy rudder pedals I have used. Wayne also has an interesting quick adjustment method.

If you are building a side by side canard airplane you’ll probably want to see these.
