INSTALLATION OF WING FLAP CONTROLS. (Refer to Figure 27-19.)
1. The flap torque tube assembly may be installed by the following procedure:
A. Install the chain sprocket with chain on the torque tube and secure with bolts, washers and nuts.
B. Slide the tube stop fittings on their respective ends of the torque tube.
C. Ascertain that one bearing block fitting is installed between its attachment brackets.
D. Slide the other bearing block over its respective end of the torque tube.
E. Position the torque tube by placing the end with the bearing block on it between the mounting
bracket and sliding the other end into the previously attached bearing block.
F. Position the remaining bearing block and secure with bolts, washers and nuts.
G. Push the torque tube cranks (arms) on each end of the torque tube and slide the stop fitting in
place. Align the bolt hole of the crank and stop fitting with the holes in the torque tube and install
bolts. The holes in the stop fitting are elongated to allow the stop fitting to be pushed against the
bearing blocks thus allowing no side play of the assembly. Tighten the bolt assemblies on the stop
fittings.
H. Install the tube support blocks on their support brackets and secure with bolts.
I. Connect the flap return spring to the return chain and/or at the spar housing.
J. Connect the control cable end to the tension chain and secure with bushing, clevis bolt, nut and
cotter pin.
K. Pull the flap handle full back and connect the tension spring. Release the flap handle to the
forward position.

that connects the control tube to the crank is installed through a hole in the side of the fuselage
located over the torque tube.
2. To install the flap handle with bracket, place the assembly on the floor tunnel and secure with bolts.
3. The flap control cable may be installed by the following procedure:
A. Attach the cable and turnbuckle to the flap handle arm and secure with clevis bolt, bushing*,
w a s h e r, nut and cotter pin. Ascertain that the turnbuckle end is free to rotate on the arm.
* ( S e e latest revision of Piper Service Bulletin 965.)
B. Route the cable through the tunnel and spar housing.
C. Install the cable rub blocks on the aft side of the spar housing and secure with screws.
D. Install cotter pin cable guard over pulley located just ahead of the spar housing in the floor tunnel.
E. Attach the cable end to the tension chain and secure with bushings, clevis bolt, nut and cotter pin.
If the chain is not installed because of the torque tube assembly being removed, install the
assembly as given in Step 3.
F. Pull the flap handle full back and connect the tension spring to the cable end.
4. Install the tunnel cover and secure with screws. Also, the tunnel carpet and bracket cover.
