Fuselage May 2008 Updates May 12, 2008 More Mixture Bellcrank Work.... - 2.0 hrs Ok so now it is time to get this mixture bracket done. I marked both sides and started with the grinder. I worked on one side and then the other. Keeping the edges even. Worked out pretty easy. Then I used the diegrider with a scotchbrite disk to remove the loose powdercoat. Next I will see if Dru will let me sandblast it at his hangar. I tried out the fit and it looks like it will work out nice. I mounted the back bracket for the cable holder. Now if I can JB Weld a stiffener I am in business. It actually looks good the way it is. Just not sure of what the vibrations will do to it over time. Just seems better to beef it up a bit.
