Hi all,
I was working on the bellcranks and their brackets. I cannot see any way to install the long bolt through the brackets without removing them from the spar. In that I understood the instructions to say install and torque them, I am wondering if I missed something somewhere. Is there any way to install the bellcrank without taking the brackets off the spar? Might it not actually be better to remove the brackets and assemble and torque the whole thing on the bench with the rod ends in place. Thoughts?
Also, there was a thread somewhere that I have been unable to find about welding the push rods. Anyone know where that was? Thoughts on weld vs rivet?
Regards,
