I received my fuse in April 2005, and my DWG 26 is revision R2. Is there a newer one?
I was going to re-do my elevator bellcrank because it had some problems (including side-to-side slop in the bearing, pretty common I hear). But when I went to order the F-635A bellcrank halves from Van's website, it said they've been replaced by a new part F-635 (no 'A'). Looking up F-635, the comment says "ELEV.BELLCRANK 1 REQ". Does that mean one required instead of two? I'm guessing there was a major redesign of the elevator bellcrank?
Anyhow, I'd be interested to know how the design has changed, so I can build the new one.
Anyone who recently received their fuse kit, or otherwise has the newer design, could you please post a photo of your bellcrank or bellcrank parts? Or even better yet, a photo or scan of the plans (DWG 26 recent version) showing the elevator bellcrank assembly?
Much appreciated!
