MY-14's tail repairs, part eight

Suomeksi

The chains and cables for rudder, elevator and aileron trims of MY-14 were lacking except some very rusty chain pieces. So, the chains and cabled had to be manufactured acoording to the designs and original parts.

The used chain proved original material since the stamp was same than in orginal parts. The wire clips were original material used in the State Aircraft Factory but not exactly same.

The feed-throughs were existed but abrasion covers were lacking. They were made from "lusto" according to the designs. "Lusto" is an old polymere, nitrocellulose, called also to Parkesine.

The bearing bracket of the rudder trim and the traction wheel of the elevator trim were in the restorable condition. They were disassembled and repaired. The aluminium wire coils were lacking and the new ones were made by lathing.

All parts were assemled and the entity was tested. It is working!
