Cable End Ball
The previous thread stated, "This should expose the slot in which the cable end ball slips in and out." This is what I did today, but it was to see if I could slip a small rubber o-ring around the 'end ball' to eliminate any slack. As I mentioned on an earlier thread this past week, the FAA inspector didn't like the 1/4" of wiggle in the elevator trim tab. Although Van's assures that this is normal, at this time, I don't believe that it'll be acceptable to the FAA. I did notice today that the ball has a bit of wiggle room in the slot. I'm not sure this will translate to 1/4" of wiggle on the aft end of the trim tab, but anything will help. Any thoughts?
