Elevator trim lever assembly
Connect the trim cable rod end to the left-
hand trim lever with an AN3-10A bolt, 3/16”
and 1/4” flat washers and a Nyloc nut. Clean
any debris away from the trim bush and fit
the trim shaft and levers, with soft washers
under the levers, and secure the levers to the
shaft with an AN3-35 bolt and castle nut. The
castle nut should be fitted to the left-hand
side of the console, tightened firmly and
locked in place with a split pin as shown in
the photo at right.
Check for full fore and aft stop-to-stop
movement of the trim levers.
Pitot tubing
Use a flexible rod to draw a length of ¼” ID PVC tubing through from the wiring access hole
in the lower front of the console, through the console and out of the hole under fuselage where
the brake line exits.
Leave enough length so that the top of the tubing is just below the bottom of the windscreen
and so that the bottom of the tubing reaches across to the right-hand strut bushing.
The top end of the pitot tubing will be connected in
Post-Paint>Fuselage>Interior>Fit the
instrument panel
and the bottom end will be connected once the wings have been fitted.
Fuel tap
Fit the red fuel tap handle to the fuel tap shaft
as shown in the photo at right.
Position the “L” shaped plastic guard in front
of and below the tap, drill holes for the end
pegs and Araldite the guard into place.
Placards
Place the fuel tap placard behind the fuel tap.
Place the trim placard above the trim lever on
top of the console with the front of the
placard level with the front of the brake lever
slot.
Place the brake lever placard behind the
brake lever slot with the rear of the placard
level with the rear of the trim placard.
This completes the
