Brief Description: RQUE TUBE TO BELL CRANK PUSHROD FABRICATION,
5/28/2009 … Aileron Actuators …. Section 23-2, Steps 1 to 3, TORQUE TUBE TO BELL CRANK PUSHROD FABRICATION, I created the Torque Tube W-1017A by cutting a piece of AT6-049 X 1 ¼ inch aluminum tubing to exactly 90 and 5/8 inches. Step 2, using the paper cut out template supplied with the plans I wrapped the template around each end of the previous cut Torque Tube and marked the holes as indicated. Then I drilled with a #40 drill bit six pilot holes as in each end of the Torque Tubes. Step 3, I inserted the VA-169 Threaded Rod Ends into the ends of the Torque Tubes and using the previously drilled pilots holes re-drilled to #30 size. And now I primed with DTM Primer/Finisher the outside and INSIDE if the Torque Tube . Time about 3 hours for both Tubes.
