Step 5: Install the rod and bearings and jam nuts into the VA-111 Threaded Rod Ends as shown in Figure 4. Theoretically the correct engagement of the rod end bearings yield a bearing  center to center length of 37 13/32 inches. The rod end bearing engagement may need to be adjusted during installation of the F-`1089 Elevator Pushrod Assembly.

Page 39-4

Step 1: Safety wire the forward end of the F-1089 Elevator Pushrod Assembly which has the GMM-4M-675 rod end bearing installed as shown in Figure 1. Form a loop that loosely encircles the bearing to the right side of the rod end. The loop will be pinned by the attach bolt.

Step 2: Fabricate the F-1090 Elevator Pushrod (mid) by cutting one piece of AT6-035 X1 1/2 to length shown in Figure 1.

Step 3: Cut out Page 39-11, Figure 2 and use as a wraparound template for locating the rivet holes in both ends of F-1090 Elevator Pushrod (Mid) use clear tape to make the template into a ring and align it with the end of the pushrod. Center-punch the "cross hairs" in the wraparound template. Remove the template and use a #40 drill to make six pilot holes in each end of the pushrod. Deburr the hole edges on the inside of the pushrod tube.

Step 4: Insert a VA-111 Threaded Rod End into the end of the F-1090 Elevator Pushrod (Mid). Proper engagement of the threaded rod end in the elevator pushrod is when the end of the tube coincides with the edge of the taper in the threaded rod end. See Figure 3:

Match-Drill #30 the threaded rod end using the pilot holes in the elevator pushrod as drill guides. Insert clecos in the holes as match-drilling progresses around the circumference of the elevator pushrod.

Repeat until threaded rod ends have been match-drilled to both ends of the elevator pushrod.

Mark the threaded rod ends so that they can be reinstalled in the same position as when they  were match-drilled. Remove the threaded rod ends from the elevator pushrod and deburr all holes in all parts and prime all parts inside and out. Allow primer to full cure before permanently installing the rod ends.

Permanently install the treaded rod ends to the elevator pushrod using the rivets called-out in Figure 3.

Step 5: Install the rod and bearings and jam nuts into the VA-111 Threaded Rod Ends as shown in Figure 4. Theoretically the correct engagement of the rod end bearings yield a bearing  center to center length of 60 13/16 inches. The rod end bearing engagement may need to be adjusted during installation of the F-`1090 Elevator Pushrod Assembly.

Step 1: Assemble two F-1064 Aileron Pushrods Assemblies as shown in Figure 1.

Step 2: Assemble the F-1065 Pushrod Assembly as shown in Figure 2.

Step 3:  Remove the F-1035 Battery/Bellcrank Mount, See Page 10-23.

Install the F-1089 Elevator Pushrod Assembly by facing it forward through the aft s8ide of the F-1006 Fuselage Bulkhead and into the position shown on Page 39-1. Make sure the forward end is forward.

Install the F-1090 Elevator Pushrod Assembly by feeding it forward through the aft side of the F-1006 Fuselage Bulkhead and and into the position shown in Figure 1/

Reinstall the battery /Bellcrank mount.

Step 1: Fabricate the F-1063C Spacer from AS3-063 as shown in Figure 1. Draw a horizontal centerline to use as a guide when match-drilling the part in the next step.

Step 2: Cleco the two F-1063A Elevator Idler Arms, the F-1063C Spacer and the VA-146 Flange Bearing together as shown in Figure 2. Adjust the spacers so that the centerline intersects the centers of the two pre-punched holes in the elevator idler arm. Match-Drill and Final-drill as per the callouts. Disassemble and deburr deburr all the holes and edges. Prime if/as desired. Rivet together using the hardware shown in Figure 2.

Step 3: Bolt the F-1063 Elevator Idler Arm Assembly to the F-1063B Idler Arm Brackets using the hardware shown in Figure 3.

Bolt the F-1089 Elevator Pushrod Assembly to the elevator idler arm assembly using the hardware shown in Figure 3.

Bolt the F-1090 Elevator pushrod Assembly to the elevator idler arm assembly using the hardware shown in Figure 2.

Step 1: Clamp the WD-1011-L Left Control Stick Base to a drill press table as shown in Figure 1. Insert a WD-1012 Control Stick into the control stick base as far as it will go. Rotate the control stick until in is planar with the surface of the table. Match-Drill #12 through the assembly using the hole in the control stick base as a guide. Support the control stick base with a block if necessary. Dissemble the parts and deburr. Repeat this step for the WD-1011-R Right Control Stick Base and the other control stick.

Step 2: Final-drill the WD-1010 Control Column as shown in Figure 2.

Step 3: Final-Drill the WD-1011-L Left Control Stick Base and F-1011-R Right Control Stick Base as shown in Figure 3.

Step 4: Install the WD-1010 Control Column onto the F-1033-L and F-1033-R (not shown) Control Column Mounts using the hardware shown in Figure 4. The right side is a mirror image of the left. The control column should rotate freely on the control column mounts.

Step 1:  Check that the length of both of the BUSHING 065 X X375 X 2.313 Control Stick Base is between 2 1/4 inches and 2 5/16 inches. Check that an AN4 bolt will fit the inside diameter of the control stick base bushings and ream if required. Deburr the ends of the control stick base bushing so that they slide easily inside the WD-1011 Control Stick Bases. See Figure 1.

The pivot tube of the control stick base must be 1/32 inch to 1/16 inch shorter than the base bushing. File the ends of control stick base pivot tubes as/if required to achieve the correct length. Deburr the inside edges of the control stick base pivot tubes. See Figure 1.

Insert a control stick base bushing into each control stick base as shown in Figure 1.

Step 2: Bolt the WD-1011 Control Stick Base to the WD-1010 Control Column using hardware shown in Figure 2.

If the BUSHING 065 X .375 X 2.313 Control Stick Base Bushing is too long to fit into the control column it must be trimmed along with the control stick base pivot tube to maintain the length differential described in the previous step.

Repeat for the WD-1011-R Control Column Base Stick.

Step 3: Install the F-1065 Pushrod Assembly into the WD-1011-L and the Wd-1011-R control stick base using just the nuts and bolts shown in Figure for now. Leave the nuts finger tight.

Install the WD-1012 Control Sticks into the control stick bases using the hardware shown in Figure 3. Move the control sticks through full range of motion and check for interference, NOTE: When When F-1043D-L/R Panels are later installed check for interference with control sticks and trim the cover panels if/as necessary for clearance.

Page 39-9

Step 1: Adjust the length of the F-1065 Pushrod Assembly until the WD-1012 Control Sticks are parallel as shown in Figure 1. Measure from inside to inside at the tip of the control sticks and compare to the bottom control sticks. When two sticks are parallel. NOTE: The dimensions shown in Figure 1 are for reference only and need not match the builders actual measurements.

Tighten the jam nuts. Bolt the pushrod assembly onto the WD-10011-L and -R Control Sick Bases using the hardware shown on Page 39-8 Figure 3

Bolt the F-1064 Aileron Pushrod Assemblies into the WD-1011-L and_-R Control Stick Bases using the hardware shown on Page 39-8, Figure 3.
