Magnum White 4" Bellcrank
« on: November 05, 2020, 03:35:27 AM »
Hi Stunt Hangar,

I have a nicely built Magnum wing which appears to use the white 4" SIG bellcrank. I was wondering whether there have been any problems reported with this item as it appears to be much lighter than the black 4" Sig Pro bellcranks that I have.

I would prefer not to tear down the wing to replace the bellcrank but will do if necessary..  ..be grateful for any advice.

Thanks in advance.

Sparky is absolutely correct! The Sig 4" white bell crank is nylon and will work quite well in your Magnum. Problem is that unless you bush the lead out holes the wire will saw through the nylon.

   Those are generally just fine.

Many thanks for the feedback.

I'm pretty certain that the experienced builder installed copper tubing on the leadouts through the bellcrank.

I will check this out but feel more confident now that the installation is good.

Another lockdown project to pickup.

Thanks again

Ian
