Hi once again, I got me an inspection mirror and had me a good look around
at what was going on at that first bellcrank. First of all on my airplane
anyway, I have the SHORT leg of the bellcrank pointing forward (therefore
the LONG leg is pointing left) and to avoid any confusion, it is the bolt
through the forward pointing leg that you need to remove to accommodate the
spacers or washers and again this bolt will probably have to be replaced by
a longer one. Both the nut on this bolt and even the nut on the bolt through
the whole bellcrank assembly are, in my case and per the then existing
manual(1994), are ELASTIC STOPNUTS. If this has changed in the newer and/or
more recent instructions I would like to hear about it. My visitor and
fellow builder apparently is using a drilled bolt and castellated nut with
cotter key. This would be more in line with what little I know should be
used, but again I simply followed instructions in my manual at that time. To
be fair, the two above mentioned elastic stopnuts were still tight on my
set-up. Geert.
