The two common kits are sometimes called the "ERCO" kit and the "Alon" kit. The ERCO kit is the one that keeps steering connected to the yoke. What you want is the Alon kit. That makes the steering connected to the rudder pedals like conventional airplanes. Jason J Ellingson former owner of NC2273H Actually, you CAN install rudder pedals that also steer the plane.

The maintenance alone is far simpler and it has such a unique look! I was wondering when folks would perk up and notice the little classic and give it a new place in the modern GA world! For anyone wishing to get one, the CAF is selling one through Courtesy Aircraft for a good price... plus it's painted as a YO-55... a warbird version!
