Brief Description:  Welded Parts - Yoke & Torque Tube

I spent the afternoon getting more of my welded parts ready for final welding. I was able to tack the cable attachment and pivots onto the yoke exacly where they go. I used drill bit stuck through the pivot holes to get them to line up, which they did. Next I welded a piece of 3/8" tubing through the center of the torque tube. The control yoke pivots on a bushing that sits in this hole. Pretty exact work. I'm really happy with the fit. Finally, I tacked the aileron cable attachment to the back of the torque tube. It's off for final welding for these parts. My flap actuator arms will have to wait until I make a small order to Aircraft Spruce. I don't have a short piece of tubing I need. Oh well, good progress.
