Control column install - Rebel/Elite

[Wayne G. O'Shea]

While I am down to the short strokes on Howard's rebuild (minor cowl
repairs, paint and engine install) thought I would re-live a few suggestions
for guys that haven't read these before, before spring is really here and
I'm too busy to bother. Not claiming to be the first to think of these, just
throwing them out for your benefit.

When mounting the control column to the carrythru's, drill and cleco to 3/16
as per the manual. Then remove the assembly, drill the right hand bracket
holes out to 1/4". Drill the carrythru holes to 7/64 and then tap them
1/4-24. Then when you install the column, rivet the left hand retainer down
with the appropriate RV1619's and bolt the right side in with AN4-3A or
AN4H-3A (allows safety wire if you're worried). This allows for easy removal
for those days when you need to lay on your back under the panel. Up and
over the column is absolutely not fun what so ever!

When installing the short push pull tube, from the left stick to the
bellcrank, be sure to use a jam nut on both rod ends. Not a singular one
like MAM shows. Then on the bellcrank ends rod end use a small slice (about
3/16") of 1/4ID x 5/16OD stainless brake line or similar..both above and
below the rod end. This will allow the rod end to swivel further, before
bottoming against the penny washer/bellcrank and allow full stick movement
once you have set your up/down stops on the control column.

Cheers,
Wayne

Another thought.....since I was doing a retro had to go 1/4". You could
drill and cleco at 1/8" and then tap for AN3-3A's instead of 1/4" bolts.
