Brief Description: Started on some control pushrods
Part of attaching the ailerons and flaps to the wing is installing the pushrods that operate the ailerons, but of course you have to make them first. So I got started on them, cutting the tubing to length one day earlier this week, then later priming the inside. I rinsed the inside with acetone first, then capped the ends with pieces of nitrile glove. I used the fingers from the glove to cap the smaller bellcrank to aileron pushrods, and 2 pieces of the palm over the end of one of the larger stick to bellcrank pushrods, then the thumb of the glove for the other. Poured primer in the smaller tubes first, tilting and rotating the rods to coat the entire inside, then setting them up to drain.
The ends of the smaller pushrods capped with nitrile glove fingers and duct tape.
The larger pushrods with flat nitrile on one and the thumb on the other. The thumb split and leaked.
The scientifically advanced primer pourer, after putting the cream in my coffee.
