Aileron trim
|
Today's goal was to install the aileron trim. The parts had already been prepared but it nevertheless took a long time. But first I replaced the brass bushing on the right stick. The fit was a bit sloppy and the stick had some play. Then I installed the trim, the servo and the springs. All this with limited access and the necessity to disassemble a few parts. The springs interfere with the seat ribs, some filing takes care of it. The springs are connected to the trim arm via safety wire, I'm not very happy with the results, I'll redo them later. I finished the day by drilling the stick for the wiring. There will be nine conductors going to the grip (five for the trims, two for the push-to-talk, and two for the autopilot). For the time being, the hole is only 1/4" (maximum allowed is 3/8) and I want to keep it as small as possible. Working time on this subpart Today : 5h (Total : 155h) |
