(f) Loosen the connecting bolts (22) of the idler sprockets (19 and 21) to allow the chain to fit
snug around the control wheel sprockets and over the idler sprockets.
(g) Connect the aileron control cables (12) to the ends of the chains (7 and 8) with bolts,
bushings, nuts and cotter pins (10).
(h) Adjust the chain turnbuckle (9) between the two control wheel sprockets to allow the
control wheels to be neutral and obtain the proper cable tension. It may be necessary, in
order to have both control wheels neutral, to set the chain turnbuckle to neutralize the
wheels and then set cable tension with the turnbuckles located under the floor panel aft of
the main spar as instructed in Aileron Bellcrank Assembly, Installation, below. Before
safetying the turnbuckle, check to determine that the ailerons and control wheels are both
in their neutral position and the chain turnbuckle is centered. Also, the aileron bellcranks
should hit their stops before the control wheel hits its stop. Maintain 0.030 to 0.040 inch
clearance between sprocket pin and adjustable stop bolts on the adjustable aileron tee
bar stops.
(i) Set the stabilator cable tension with turnbuckles in the aft section of the fuselage and
instructions given in Stabilator Controls - Rigging and Adjustment, 27-30-00. Check safety
of all turnbuckles upon completion of adjustments.
(j) Tighten the connecting bolts (22) of the idler sprockets (19 and 21) to the torque shown in
Figure 1.
(k) Place the tunnel plate into position for installation and secure with the appropriate screws.
Roll the carpet into place and install the rudder trim cover and knob.
(2) Either control wheel/tube assembly may be installed by the following procedure:
(a) Insert the control wheel tube through the instrument panel.
(b) Should wires for the various Autopilot systems need to be installed in the control tube,
route them through the hole in the forward side of the tube and out of the small hole in the
side of the tube ahead of the control wheel. Position the rubber grommet in the hole in the
side of the tube to protect wires.
(c) On the left control tube install the stop (6).
(d) Connect the control wheel tube (2) to the flexible joint (4) of the tee bar assembly. If the
control cables and/or chains have not been removed or loosened, place the ailerons in
neutral and install the control tube on the flexible joint to allow the control wheel to be
neutral. Install bolt, washer and nut (3) and tighten.
