Jos,
Thanks for the comment and picture link. I seem to have the orientation of
the brackets ok (the holes drilled into the bracket are in the same spot as
in your pictures), and have trial fitted the wing bellcranks to the cockpit
bellcranks by inserting the wings, and they mate very well. I hate to undo
that which mates so well, but will have to, if that's what it takes. I will
prob do a trial fit in the fuselage, and if the bracket leans inboard, I
won't have a choice, but to redo. Then give each bracket top an inboard
twist around the positioning bolt by about 3/8" (and consequently the
bracket bottom an outboard twist), and a new base of araldite.
I am going to think about it for a little while though, and am open to any
more ideas or enlightenments from anyone.
Part of the bellcrank is outside the fuselage shell as well, in the area of
the hole in the side of the fuselage. I assume this is normal, since the
dimensions are set by the hole spacing in the wing spars. Can you or someone
please confirm this?
Thanks,
Greg Fuchs

Hi Greg,
The brackets should be inside the outline of the cockpit module. Have a look
at my efforts there, the link is

There are a few pictures that clearly show the situation. Maybe the brackets
are upside down, or port-starboard interchanged? Later, once the cockpit
module is mounted in the fuselage you will lap up the brackets to the
fuselage. If wrong, better to correct now.
