Brief Description: Assemble Elevator Idler Assy
|
|
Although it looks like I didn't do anything last night, I was still involved in aviation - I attended the AOPA ASF Seminar on "What Went Wrong." Interesting look into the background information on crashes.
Tonight, I assembled the SNX-F10-16 elevator idler subassembly. Most of the parts were already made - some came in the machined angle components kit, some came in the basic kit, and I had to fabricate a 3/16" spacer block.
Started out by drilling 3/16" holes in the space block to match the two bolt holes already drilled in the idler side angles. The bolts are the ones on the left. Reamed the two sides, the spacer, and the attach angle shown on the left with the reamer to ensure a smooth consistent hole between all parts.
Pressed the oil-impregnated bronze bushings into the idler side pieces, then fit the idler arm in-between. There are two 5/16 OD / 3/16 ID bushings that go between the AN-14 bolt and the bronze bushings. The plans say to prime with zinc chromate primer, but as with the elevator bellcranks in the wings, moly grease is acceptable. The idler is supposed to be free to rotate, but "snug." I have no idea how snug "snug" is supposed to be. The idler moves smoothly. Torqued all bolts and applied a cotter pin to the idler bolt as per plans.
Only have to fit/drill the seat hinge to the upper 1x1x0.125 angle and SNX-F10 will be done.
