I just got my Newsletter back issues.
Found some interesting items that are interesting because
I am noticing some issues in my aileron pushrod areas that
I needed to follow up on. Maybe due to the errors in
the plans.
One of the old issues, mentions adding a 1/8" by 1/4" o.d.
bushing between the aileron pushrod and the belcrank.
Another (Nov'83) mentions an error in Drawing #71.
I need to head out to the airport and review my plans.
The error in drawing #71 impacts how much aileron down
travel you have. I think my down travel is OK, but the
error would also impact the pushrod geometry a bit, which
is what I want to look at.
I started getting the newsletter in '88, and didn't bother
to get the back issues until now. So I would recommend
anyone who hasn't gotten the back issues to check into
it.
My plans are dated '86 (I think), so they drawing may have
been updated, but I'm going to check it, and also consider
the 1/8" pushrod bushing idea... (to prevent binding).
There is also a mention of putting a washer on the outside
in case the pushrod fails, you don't loose all flight control.
