Finally got a backordered part I needed to assemble the aileron bellcrank. I was waiting to finish this before moving on with the wing so I didn’t get too far ahead of myself. It was pretty straight forward. I had an issue with getting the bearings into the mounting blocks. I spent an hour and a half getting one in and then gave up on the other one since it was getting late. The next day I asked around and found that these are much easier to do with something like a vice. Since I had no vice, I went out and bought one. I also needed it to clamp the bellcrank together so I could drill some holes through it.
Then I bolted it to the bellcrank brace in the wing. I over torqued the nuts the first go around and the arm didn’t move freely at all. I figured out what I did wrong and on went new hardware and it’s all working nicely now.
I torqued all the other nuts in the wing and I’m waiting on some new aileron cables from RANS so I can finish the bellcrank installation and move forward. I also need to rivet the rib reinforcement to the rib as well.
Since the bellcrank is installed now, I riveted the stringers in and started on riveting the ribs.
