Brief Description:  Bellcrank Channel Braces and More Wiring

Motivated after my visit to the Zenith Aircraft factory this weekend, I set myself to finishing off a bunch of small taksa remaining before I close up the left wing. The first was to rivet the aileron bellcrank channel cross braces (L angles) to the bellcrank channel. This also involved drilling out the cross braces through the top skin, updrilling to A4 rivet size, deburring, sanding and painting with anti-corrosion paint.

Next, I wrapped the landing taxi light wires in nylon spiral wrap to make the droopy batch of wires into the single, stable cable.

Lastly, I received materials and plans for a plans notebook and a regular notebook from Zenith Aircraft at the open hangar event this weekend. This clever idea extends the Zenith construction stnadards and parts to make notebooks using aluminum sheet metal, A5 rivets, piano hinges, and a 3-ring binder clip. I finished the plans notebook in about 20 minutes. I'll build the regular (8.5" x 11") notebook in a future date.
