Those of you who have followed this discussion may have noticed I said on

<<But It is not difficult to set up a disc on a motor to waggle the stick via
a pushrod, or cable and spring>>
Well it's not that easy inside the cockpit ! There is really nothing
suitable to mount the motor and bits on.
However it all really does become easy if you attach the push rod externally
to the M4 bolt on end of the aileron push-rod where it drives the quick
connect plate. The rest is then solidly mounted on a platform from the
floor, strapped if necessary to the trailer frame. Took about an hour to set
up (ancient Meccano gears came in handy) and at 3600 waggles an hour the
whole thing was certainly free before a couple of unattended hours had
elapsed. Brasso rules !
