Number of Hours:  8.50
Manual Reference:  Rudder pedals
Brief Description:  Rudder pedal adjustment levers and rudder pedals

Assembled the rudder pedal adjustment levers after drilling the cross hole in the locking dowel.

The way the parts in this kit were manufactured, I didn't have to follow (exactly) the instructions in the manual in terms of fitting the bushings between the torque tubes and the rudder pedal cross bars. Of course I didn't realize this until I was well underway in following the manual.

Hint to anyone reading this tome: first locate where the bushing will be on the torque tube and remove the powder coat there. Then remove the powder coat from the inside of the rudder cross tubes where they will mate with the bushings. Next see if the bushings can be slid on the torque tube to their final location and check if the rudder pedal can be slid into position.

Last (for today anyhow), predrilled, removed burrs and final drilled the rudder pedal assembly into position - one pedal set only. The second set is ready for predrilling tomorrow morning.
