Anyone have any idea how much to torque bolts holding the plastic bearing
blocks used in the manual flap handle and rudder pedal mountings? I
tightend them to the standard torques for the size of bolt used but that
seems to compress the plastic quite a bit. Maybe it's not a problem but I
would like to know for sure, any takers?
Also the bellcrank bolt torques, I started tightening the elevator bellcrank
down to 75 inch pounds but the bolt looked like it was starting to bow so I
backed off. Anyone know what these assemblies are suppose to be torqued to
(recalling that they are only supported in the center by thick wall aluminum
tubes and the ball bearing assembly)? Thanks.

RV-6A, canopy headaches
PS: Anyone had to hack 1 inch out of both rear bows on your old style canopy
frame? I did and I let Van's know I wasn't too happy about it either (I'm
not supposed to manufacture small parts they are)
