Brief Description: Aileron bellcrank and pushrods
|
|
Driled out brass bushings for aileron bellcranks. (Used drill bit instead of proposed straight reamer, which worked fine.) Got bellcranks to operate very smoothly -- took lots of time to get bushings to fit just right by chucking them in the drill press and holding strips of 600-grit sandpaper against them.
Cut W-816 (large) aileron pushrod tubes to length, drilled end caps, deburred, cleaned, primed everything, assembled and riveted end caps. Test-fit L wing pushrod to bellcrank.
Will reorder two end caps for R wing W-816 pushrod, because edge distance is not sufficient. Will use existing pushrod as a drill guide, since its edge distances are fine.
(The reason I messed up these holes is that I wrongly took an artist's view of the "look" of these pushrod assemblies, assuming that the beveled surface of the end caps would make a flush intersection with the pushrod. In reality, the end caps should be pushed into the rods further than you'd think by looking at them.)

Aileron bellcrank comes together for the first time. (Wing is laying upside down.)

Blind-riveting the end cap to the 816 pushrod.

Insufficient edge distance on end cap. Re-ordered this one.
