Brief Description:  Right Aileron Control Cables and Pushrod

Cut two 12-foot lengths of cable for the right aileron. Triple-swaged them around thimbles. Covered the swaged end with transparent heat shrink and covered the unswaged end with black heat shrink. I put the heat shrink on to keep the sharp cable ends under control. I use transparent at the swaged end based on my TC's recommendation so that corrosion and wear can still be detected through the heat shrink.

Ran the cables through the two aft lightening holes of ribs 1-6 and attached them to the aileron bellcrank on rib 7. I also attached the pushrod (which will connect to the horn on the aileron) to start testing it for fit.
