I am building an RV7A, and I've just drilled my aileron bellcrank for the roll servo pushrod.
Using the orientation shown in the installation drawings, I can't seem to figure out how to put in the AN3H-17A bolt in the hole I drilled in the bellcrank (i.e., with the head facing the top of the wing).
Unless I severely enlarge the hole in the aileron bellcrank, the bolt is too long to insert from the top, as the 'middle' plate of the bellcrank (the one with the lightening hole in it) interferes with the bolt going in straight.
The 'easy' solution here would be to insert the bolt from the other side (i.e., head down, nut facing the top of the wing)
I've searched this forum and don't see this question coming up, so I am either missing something major, or people are just putting in the bolt 'upside down' ??
Thanks!
