Elevator Push Rod Tunnel
Hey Gang!
How did you attach the formed tunnel
to the aluminum decking?
Rivets, screws? I don't find it covered
in the manual, of course...
Also, it appears that the bushing tubes
don't line up very well, so this push rod
will be in a constant bind. Do I bend it
a little to make the connection points
line up, or just let it flex?
Thanks!
John

There are many things that happen really fast when you are
flying an airplane. There is no sense in rushing any of the others.
I would much rather be looking down at the runway, than up at it.

push rod tube
I used wood flooring - so screws worked just fine. I found that a few small adjustments (bends) were needed to make the rod work smoothly.

screws
Mine came with the self tapping screws. I used them right to the aluminum decking. Worked fine. Then covered with carpet material right over that. Did not fill in the sides like some do.

Hey!
I had no idea those screws were there!
They sure supplied a lot of them!
I do intend to put do 3" of blue styrofoam to
level it out. I think it will cut down on noise
too.
Thanks gang!

I decided on an open cell foam layer of about 2 1/2" on top of the filler foam for a more comfortable berth and to protect the lower foam from denting. If it's not enough, the Lexan sounds like a good additional layer.John S wrote:Hi, Just gang,
I'm a new member, about 1 year into construction of an escapade with a Rotax 912 ULS.
I added the foam filler around the elevator tunnel, but also added a 1/8 layer of lexan on top of the foam so my knee wouldn't dent the foam when I crawl back to the cargo compartment.
