Flight Controls part 7


After the primer cured, I was off to installing these nutplates.

Then riveting these seat pan extensions in for good.

All done!

Then I riveted the brackets that end up holding the throttle control later.

Then I fabricated these aileron pushrod tubes and their associated rod end bearings.  Drilling and tapping these was a pain in the rear but I got it done.  Also make sure the bearing with the stud instead of a hole is inserted into the rod by the body NOT the stud!  There is a service bulleting about this because someone crashed and died because these were incorrectly installed the other way around!
