0.5 Hours -
There wasn’t much time for working on the plane today, but I managed to squeeze in a half hour. During this time, I installed the end caps on the W-716 pushrods. The ends are installed with 6 blind rivets on each cap. I still need to prime the outside of the tubes, but that will wait until tomorrow.
The W-716 pushrod ends are installed with 6 blind rivets. A rod end bearing will screw into this.
I also did a little work on the ends for the W-818 pushrods. The ends are a bit to large for the steel tube, so I have to remove some material. For this, I’m using my belt sander, but the ends get hot quickly and I had to set them aside for until they cool back down.
