Brief Description:  Aileron actuation

I completed the aileron belcranks for both wings. I had some issues with torqueing the bolts as at full torque the aluminum sleeve would deform causing binding in the movement. The left went smoothly, the right not so much. It took several attempts to figure out the issue and find the right combination.

The long tubes went well with no issues. The smaller tubes not so well. The threaded rod ends went in the first tube so tight the threads deformed making the push rod unusable. New parts are on order. The second went better as I was much more careful to clean the inside of the tube more thoroughly.

Everything went well when assembling the components into the system, I discovered Vans had shipped me the wrong size rod end bearings (too large) A call to Vans and they are on their way.

Vans was quick this time with three-day shipping. The tube and rod ends took four days. Meanwhile I moved on to an eclectic day of many tasks.
