 Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2006 1:27 pm Post subject: Length of Aileron Rod? |
 |
|
Hi All
just installed the aileron and found out that the rod from the bellcrank is to long. I measured and checked eveything again and still cannot see my mistake and there is no eye end to eye end measurment on the plans.
Can someone who has this rod handy please measure from the enter of one eye end to the ocenter of another. or have I missed this measurement on the plans. and yes when I look through the eye ends I have the steel rod ends in deep enough.
Thanks Chris.

Chris,
No mistake, the rod is too long, on purpose I guess. I screwed the rod into the bellcrank connector, held the aileron at neutral, placed the other end of the rod along side the aileron connector and "eyeballed" the location for the cut. I cut it a little long and trimmed it later for a proper fit. Since it is a stainless steel rod, it will not be easy to cut and you will probably have to dress the end threads to get it to screw into the connector. It's really not too hard a job. Good luck!

Thread a nut onto the rod before you cut it. The nut will clean up the cut end of the rod when you remove it (the nut).

That will work, but the better solution is cut only one end (or only one end at a time) and clean the threads by threading the correct die on from the uncut end. Remember that he who dies (pun) with the most tools wins.

but it would be real nice if Zenith had a total center to center length.
