Fit the bushes to the console
Fit the stick pivot plate carefully into the
control shaft and secure with 2 x AN3-
13A bolts, spacers, washers and Nyloc
nuts. The nuts should face the left-hand
side of the aircraft when fitted.
Slip the front nylon bush over the
control shaft.
With the rear bush and mounting plate
taped in place, fit the control shaft into
the console from the front and through
the rear bush, seating the front bush.
Mount the aileron bellcrank onto the rear
of the control shaft, taking care to keep the
bellcrank square to the shaft, and temporarily secure
it by easing an AN3 bolt through the bellcrank and
the shaft as shown below right.
Do
not
force the bolt through the holes: ensure that
the holes are aligned exactly before fitting the bolt.
Now the control shaft is held in the console by both
the front and rear bushes. At this point make any
adjustments necessary to allow the control shaft to
rotate freely in the bushes – you may need to file
small amounts out of the console to correct the
alignment of the front or rear bushes.
Take your time with this step: you want the
absolute minimum
of turning resistance!
Make sure that the rear mounting plate is pushed
fully into the console and then move the front nylon
bush out as required to take up any endplay: you
require only a
very
small amount of endplay, no
more than the thickness of a single sheet of paper.
