Hi all
I am in the process building the ARF Primary Force .
After opening the wing hatch to get access to the bellcrank,
I really don't trust the leadout crimping at the bc
which is made by a short (5mm) flatten copper tube.
The leadout cables (stainless free) slipping through the sheet metal bellcrank hole (not bushed).
To my understanding...the bc axle (steelpin) is fixed/glued more or less to the main spars , top and bottom.
To get all this bs done the Right way ,I have to remove bc axle to pull bc out off the wing,
to replace bellcrank (4inch) and leadout cables with solid crimping.
I also would go for balljoint at bc.
Sorry, don't have the P.F. drawings.
How can I fix this without a kill
.
I would give this P.F. (private fa.t) 30 flights or less, leadouts off the bc and
the P.F. is history.....yippee.
I know.....you get what you paid for.
Sorry for the hard words ...somekind of disappointment here in the cave,
but the rear fuseend also has bow starting right after wing cutout to inside circle, would say 3-5 degrees.
Finished the 5th day trying to bent back fuse into neutral with Hot Iron and Hot air blower and weights.
The damn fuse allways jumps back.
To my understanding,
it is not smart to laminate 3 layers of Balsa ,each of different density ,hardness or stiffness.
Wood still works after cutting
some faster,some slower......that's why the fuse is bend like hell to inside circle.
This Kit was bought from the U.S. DEC. 2007 from a long time CL Buddy which was given to me ,a few days back to build,.........
because......... .
The kit was kept in dark and dry room for years and was straight (wing and fuse) like a razor edge
.....till.....
THE P. FORCE STROKE BACK.
Thanx for your input
