Posted 14 Oct 2018 Anyone knw where to get the F7 bell crank to provide differential ailerons for the Avids? John M I just had a set of the F7a bellcranks made by Mark from the new Avid. He didn't send/make the shafts though. I keep wanting to reach out to him about it. Here is a pic. I would go to the website and send an email to him.

Posted 14 Oct 2018 Do these bell-cranks provide differential flaperon deployment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 15 Oct 2018 (edited) Yes. The difference is noticeable while not dramatic. You will still need footwork to fly clean... I found them worth upgrading to. Edited 24 Oct 2018 by FredStork 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 24 Oct 2018 (edited) I just noticed this add on FaceBook... I hope Mark is not applying the same price.... "philosophy"... Edited 24 Oct 2018 by FredStork 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 25 Oct 2018 How do they increase performance of the AVID? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 25 Oct 2018 They don't... but they slightly increase the pilots performance by modifying the flaperon deployment differential and thereby reduce the adverse yaw making it easier to keep the ball in center... It is a noticeable, but not dramatic, improvement. 3 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 11 Dec 2018 The first f-7a bellcranks weren't available until about july of 1996. That is when John Larsen finished his development work and they went into production. 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Dec 2018 Me to. My MK IV had them when I got it, and it was built in the early 90s. He flew it a few hours and got scared of it and it sat in a hangar after that. Didn't think he put the new style in, but maybe he did. JImChuk 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
