S.7 Installing the Idler Assembly
The idler assembly in the Legacy FG is located differently
than in the retractable Legacy.
S.7.A Aligning the Idler’s Base Bracket
Steps...
1. Assemble the aileron idler.
2. Clamp the aileron idler bracket (209-0001) to the wing
spar.
3. There are four dots on the spar to help locate the base
bracket. Clamp the bracket over these dots so a dot can
be seen through each bolt hole.
4. Install the aileron assembly to the base bracket.
5. Install the control stick assembly per page 6-3 in the
Legacy Assembly Manual
and follow the rigging
procedure.
Setting the Controls to Neutral
The basis for rigging the aileron control system is to set the
stick, idlerarm, bellcrank and the aileron to neutral. Then
the control tubes are adjusted accordingly.
Steps...
1. Set all inboard controls to neutral.
2. Connect the inboard push-pull tube to the rod-end
bearing.
3. Move the control sticks through their entire range of
motion, including the maximum elevator travel.
Connecting the Rod-end Bearing to the Push-pull Tube
Rod ends should always maintain at least five threads
engaged onto the end of the push-pull tube. The simplest
method for connecting a rod-end bearing is as follows:
• Turn the rod end onto the end of the push-pull tube,
counting each turn, until it bottoms out.
• Turn the rod end out by 1/2 the total turn count.
• This should be at least or greater than five turns.
• Always check the witness hole.
To correctly locate the aileron assembly, the controls must
be set to neutral and tested prior to finishing the
installation of the base bracket.
