Should have read more messages before I responded!
Thanks - this idea is even better and sounds like my new plan. I
really didn't want to learn about swaging and cables and thimbles at
this point. I will personally be much more motiviated by finishing up
the first wing!

Actually, you don't even have to tighten the shackle bolts inside the hatch.
Everything can be done in the daylight except bolting the bellcrank back
into its bracket. Feed the pre-thimbled cables through the lightening holes
as you suggested, insert the shackles, bolt them to the bellcrank under the
wing (outside the hatch). Then the bellcrank is bolted to its bracket inside
the hatch. I made my hatch bigger than the plans called for so it ought to
be reasonably easy.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> When building my wing, before I closed it up I ran two lengths of baler twine from the bellcrank out to the inboard ends and tied them off. With the control wire tied to the twine, we just pull through, and connect. Remember---string will not do. Light rope will not do. A long piece of wire will not do. Lacing cord will not do. You MUST use baler twine, or evil things will happen [img]cid:034701c6a374$67019a90(at)ownerf8535761e[/img]

I may be wrong but as best I can tell, the swagging can take place outside
the wing, then thread the cables through the lightening holes etc.
Any reason that won't work?
