Title: Week 43
The trim system was the main focus this week. Four trim pulleys are mounted against the firewall and so need to go in before installing the rudder pedals. In order to install the pulleys we had to also install the new forward trim cables. We first employed one of our younger members to crawl into the rear fuselage. While he was in there we had him vacuum out some debris in the tail cone. His main mission, however, was to retrieve the forward trim cables that were under the floorboards. Once that was done we attached the end of each old cable to the forward end of each new cable and then threaded them through. Next, one of our members crawled under the panel to install the sets of pulleys with their respective cables. Not an easy task. The next job will be to complete the installation by installing the sets of pulleys that bring the new forward cables under the floorboards back to where they will eventually be connected to the two rear trim cables.
