Assuming that I am not the only one foolish enough to attempt a retro-fit of
Mod 76 (Dynon) to a completed airframe I would appreciate any help from
others who have done so.
I am currently at an impasse. Removal of CS10 and replacing it with CS10/2
was tedious but relatively straightforward to complete, although the Europa
Factory instructions manage to overlook a few essential points. I am stymied
by my inability to get the nut on the bolt that attaches the rod end to the
horn on CS10/2. With perseverance I managed to get the bolt through the
horn on CS10/2 and the rod end, but my not very large hands cannot do both:
hold the MS31042-3 nut and rotate it after I get it near the threaded end of
the AN3-7A bolt. So far I have failed even to get the nut aligned so the
bolt could be turned into the nut. At this point I am considering cutting
another access hole in the bottom of the fuselage but only as a last resort
would I start cutting.
Suggestions?
