E-flite PT-19 ARF Assembly Manual

5. Use four 4-40 x 1/2-inch socket head screws

and four #4 washers to secure the bellcrank base

inside the fuselage. Note that the threaded stud for

the bellcrank is facing the slot in the fuselage for

the leadout wires.

6. Slide the elevator bellcrank into the fuselage

through the slot exposed in Step 1.

7. Insert the brass pushrod connector into the

hole in the elevator bellcrank. Use pliers and the

connector backplate to secure the brass pushrod

connector to the elevator bellcrank.

You will note in the pictures we have installed

the pushrod connector in the inner hole on the

bellcrank. This will provide good solid control inputs

for your first flights. Later on, you may move to the

outside hole for even more throw if you so wish.

8. Carefully inspect the flanged washer. Is must be

installed in the correct direction for the bellcrank to

operate smoothly. The narrow part of the flange will

fit against the bearing in the bellcrank, and the wide

edge faces the nut holding the assembly together.

9. Slide the bellcrank onto the threaded stud. Make

sure the mark made in Step 3 is facing up. Slide

the flanged washer onto the threaded stud (not the

correct direction as described in the previous step)

and use the nut and 5.5mm nut driver to tighten the

nut. Snug the nut down to prevent damage to the

bearing in the bellcrank. Insert the elevator pushrod

into the hole in the brass pushrod connector.
