[Wing] Bracket on F-649

[Douglas G. Murray]

Tom-  The bracket you are refering to was designed years ago by Art Chard as a possible saftey item. The idea of the bracket was that IF the rudder cables were loosened while ground handling the aircraft,  the bracket would support the loose rudder cable so that it could not loop down and get tangled in the flap mechanism. The bracket is attached by a couple AN3-3.5 rivets.

Hope this helps,

  Hi,
       I may be having a case of "Blueprint Vision Overload"  (it would not be the first time..... nor the second ...)  but print page #37 in the upper right corner shows a end view of the F-649 removable flap mechanism cover with some type of bracket or support attached to the inside of it about 1/2 way up.  Possibly it is something to separate the rudder cable from the flap mechanism should the cable sag down??  Where in the prints does it show what it is and how it is attached?
