(10-17 steps 1 & 2): ......
I was looking for something a little different. So I decided to
take care of the elevator bellcrank assembly. First thing was to
fashion a small spacer from a piece of .063 sheet stock. I then
drew a line down the center of it length wise. After that came
the deburring (exactly what I was trying to get away from... but a
necessary evil!) of the two bellcrank pieces. Then the two pieces
were clecoed together sandwiching the bearing in between. The
spacer was then slid in between the two bellcrank pieces and the line
was centered in the holes. Keeping this line centered in the
holes I made sure the spacer was centered side to side and then clamped
the bellcrank pieces down on it to hold it in place while I match
drilled the holes into the spacer. Here you can see the entire
assembly clecoed together. This assembly is what will connect the
push-pull tube from the flight controls to the push-pull tube going
back to the elevators.
