Fuselage

Elevator Pushrods ( 3 hrs )

A few locations on the interior needed some re-painting.  Simply sanded with 400 grit, cleaned and sprayed a couple light coats.   These blended perfectly...so very satisfied with overall results.   Completed Elev. Bellcrank Assembly at Sect 36-06, Step 5.  Finished Fwd, Mid, and Aft Elev Pushrods by blind riveting Rod Ends, then installed Rod End Bearings / Jam nuts to specified lengths per Steps 7-9 Sect 36-03 and Steps 7-8 Sect 36-04   (Aft Elevator was to 1/32" over 6 ft length).


 Marshall County Flyers 50th Annual Father's Day breakfast / fly-in was another big success (Sunday, June 18).  Served over 1,500 people!   My wife and I worked along with 50 other volunteers from 6am to 3:30.  Lot's of work, but fun to see the enthusiasm from the community.  Lots took advantage of airplane rides for $15.
