Oct 25, 2020     Inspection hatches, aileron cables - (4 hours)       Category: Wings
I discovered that I had forgotten to install a turnbuckle between the aileron bellcranks and the cables. Obviously, they are needed for adjustment of the ailerons. My hardware kit had 5 turnbuckles: two AN 130 and three An 140. The 130 has a fork on one end which attaches to the aileron bellcrank and a hole for a cable loop on the other. The only problem is that these are also required on the flap system, and I've already used them. We pirated them from the flaps, and I will replace in my next ACS order. The 140 turnbuckles have holes on both ends for cable loops. I need one to join the aileron transfer cable at the top of the cockpit, and I will use the two extras for rudder adjustment.

Andre came to help so in addition to the cables, I put him to work drilling the inspection hatch frames for nutplates, and then dimpling them, and installing nutplates
