Re: Safetying RH Balance Turnbuckle
Can't tell you why, but, SLN-65 states that the wire goes around the bolt, not the eye, and to check it for wear at inspection time.

Re: Safetying RH Balance Turnbuckle
I'd sure like to see a pic of that, is that supposed to be a fork or a pin eye for the carry-thru cable on the right side? I think the parts books shows for an eye instead of a fork. Fork would be much easier and make sense with the SLN-65.
SLN-65 excerpt- 2. Inspect the safety wire on the aileron carry-thru cable turnbuckle in the right wing for wear and breakage at that point where the wire passes around the bolt that secures the turnbuckle eye to the bellcrank. Excessive wear of the safety wire is possible at this point as a result of a combination of clearance and bellcrank action.
