It is very important that the rear bush and mounting plate are fitted to the console at precisely
90° to the control shaft, and that there is no friction between the bushes and the shaft.
When you are satisfied with the alignment of both bushes and the endplay is correct, remove
the aileron bellcrank and pull the bushes out enough to coat each bush with flock, then push
both bushes back into place. Refit the aileron bellcrank and reset the endplay very carefully
and leave to cure, taking care not to get any flock onto the control shaft. Smooth off any
surplus resin with a small amount of resin on a clean mixing stick.
When the flock has cured, remove the temporary bolt from the aileron bellcrank and withdraw
the control shaft. Clean any flock from the control shaft and from around the bushes then
reinsert the control shaft, check that the control shaft can rotate freely and that the endplay is
minimal and then remove the control shaft and the aileron bellcrank and set aside until the
fuselage has been painted.
This completes the
