Got a used Alt Hold setup going in my RV-7.
Wondering about the bolt direction for the pushrod onto the elevator bellcrank.
The bolt head faces toward F-728A Bellcrank Channel.
Seems if the nut ever dropped off and the bolt began to work out, it could extend out to the F-728A channel and then extend past in the up elevator movement and possibly lock things up. (yes, better with a picture).
The Vans plans have the bolt for the top pushrod going the other way with the threads facing the F-728A channel.
Any reason why NOT to switch the servo pushrod bolt around on the bellcrank?
