Yes, they are the standard bell cranks as call for in the plans with some minor changes. I made changes to make the cable attachments in double shear and made new, more rigid, attach brackets. The cable attach points are per plans so the geometry of the closed loop remains the same. It's been six to eight years since I rigged the system but I think I simply changed the attach point for the aileron pushrod. I think I moved it out a bit from the bell crank pivot point to produce a longer "arm" to give the rod more travel but this is from memory and may be incorrect. I may have moved both cable attach points in toward the pivot point to accomplish the same thing and keep the loop geometry correct. I'll try to remember to look at the bell crank the next visit to the airport and get back to you, maybe with a photo. The real trick to getting the correct aileron travel is to get the bell cranks in the correct neutral position. Look at the photos in the plans. Larry Flesner
