Pietenpol-List: Elevator Bellcrank

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Robert Gow
There appears to be a measurement discrepancy on the plans regarding the locationof the Bellcrank for the elevators. Drawing 1 for the fuselage shows the pivotpoint located at 7" above the bottom of the lower longeron. Drawing 4 forthe flight controls shows that same pivot point at 9" above the lower longeron.Can any builders/fliers who have done one or the other shed light on this? Presumably,the higher the Bellcrank the better the geometry of the cables over thetop of the horizontal stab.....
