Installed the flaperon push pull tubes to the aft bell cranks. Pretty easy due to good access.
Then attached the fwd end to the flaperon mixer.

Worked on the flaperon push pull control tubes today.
Dropped back to install the nuts and washers on the bolts that I have installed so far on the flight controls.
The control sticks get castle nuts and cotter pins where they connect to the control column fork. I guess they could have used regular nylon locknuts here because the bolt and bushing do not rotate. I don't know why they went this route but I don't ask questions.Got these bolts and other hardware installed with the aileron pushrods. This is a total pain in the rear! Those little spacer washers are the devil. Access to the area is very tight for someone with big hands and forearms! Washer wrenches were a life saver here as well as a mirror underneath to be able to see what is going on. Took a couple hours to get the bolts and washers installed on these two rod ends!
