Objectives of this task:
In this task you will fit the elevator cable to the console and then align and fit the two control
column bushes into the console, set up the endplay of the control column and fit the control
stick to the console.
Materials required:
Card # J17A „
Elevator System and Control Stick
‟
Epoxy Resin and Flock
Fit the elevator cable clamp
The elevator cable runs through the
console and through to the rear of the
fuselage inside the longitudinal rib.
Drill the existing 3/16” holes through
and place both bolts through the
mounting holes from the inside of the
console, through the cable clamp
backing plate and then through the
saddle clamp.
Take care to align the locating groove
in the outer cable with the matching
point on the saddle clamp, then secure with Nyloc nuts and mark the nuts with
TorqueSeal
.
Press fit the rear bush
The metal rear bush must first be pressed into the
mounting plate - a bench vise is the most
convenient way to do this as shown in the picture
at the right.
Note that the flange on the rear bush goes on the
outside face of the mounting plate.
The two photos below show the rear bush fully
pressed into the mounting plate.
