Title: Prop Cable
I refereed back to the RV14 plans for the hardware stackup at he prop governor, but this instructions are based on the hartzell governor. The bolt was too short, so I had to go a bit longer. The next longer drilled shank bolt I had was 2 sizes longer so I added a thick and thing washer under the head to get everything to line up. The RV14 instructions have you install this bolt with the head inboard, but with the Jihistroj governor there's interference with the face of the governor and the only way to get it to fit that way would be to take the arm off the governor and put a bolt in, then re-install the governor. I could have done that, but it seem like that bolt orientation is just a bad idea. If some how the nut cam off, the bolt could back out enough to get hung up against the face of the governor at stick the pitch at some random RPM setting. In this instance I'd rather have a failure mode where the bolt just falls out and the governor spring does its thing and goes to flat pitch. Where the cable goes through the aft baffle, the hole is 1/2" so that the cable end can fit through it. The RV14 plans call for a -8 snap bushing to go in that hole, but that leaves a pretty big gap between the snap bushing and the 1/4" cable diameter. I split the -8 bushing and snapped it into place, then split and installed a -6 inside that one. I then used a handy piece of scrap weed eater string th help keep the cable centered in the remaining gap and squirted it full of RTV. Once the RTV dried, I the pulled the weed eater string out. eezee peezee. I butterflied a couple of adel clamps together where the cable crosses the engine mount tube to prevent rubbing there, while ensuring a bit of slack to account for the engine wiggling around. At this point, I'm calling this task done.
