Hello boy's. Does anybody have a spare rudder bellcrank laying around they want to get rid of? I know i can get one from Univar but just thought i would check before spending the big bucks......

These tend to wear out, so if you do pick up a used/salvaged one be sure to check it closely before installing it.

Has anyone any experience with the Univair replacment? During my annual, I found that my rudder bellcrank has been damaged and now requires replacement.

The Univair is what I installed as a replacment (they have a PMA for this as I recall). It went on with no problems.

During my prior year’s annual we decided to replace my rudder horn. We didn’t realize how bad it was until it was removed - the arrow is pointing to a crack that is about an inch long! 8O Unfortunately, I’m not sure where my A&P purchased the replacement.
