Fuselage May 2008 Updates May 23, 2008 Mixture Bellcrank Finally.... - 4.0 hrs Several nights this week I worked on the bellcrank bracket. I used JB Weld and it took several applications and it had to dry between each one. Then I had to prime it and paint with heat resistant flat black. Today I installed it and its working perfect. Next I used a greenlee punch to cut the hole for the eyeball passthru for the mixture cable. Installed the cable and tested the throws from stop to stop. Next I drilled out the eyeball for the throttle and installed it as well. All cables are installed and working correctly.
