AIRCRAFT
Made in USA Control Rod Rigger Made in USA
Duplicate the length of any AN-3 through AN-10 control rod
to ± .005. (1/2 Flat) No more losing thread count or
poorly measured control rods requiring aircraft re-rigging.
Easy to use, satisfaction guaranteed.
Talking about present duplication
methods: The tolerance on
thread length to ball center is ± 1/32 so counting threads is a poor
measurement, and a tape or mark on a board is not any
better. Even with a caliper as
big as your control rod, when you measure the old rod the
setting will include the wear.* With
the
Control Rod Rigger well worn rod ends will center up by
pushing down on the rod as the tool is adjusted. .005 is less than 1/2 flat for
AN-4 and bigger. This accuracy certainly is useful when
adjusting helicopter heads. My
mechanic loves it and so will you.
To use this tool
to adjust twisted control rods, rotate one end
Counter
clockwise until the control rod is
flat and can fit on the tool. After replacing
both rod ends, rotate the same
end clockwise
to the proper angle.
Do not switch ends or
direction when turning to the proper angle or
you will have the wrong length. I recommend rotating
the right hand threaded end every time for
consistency. Do
it the same way every time.

It is possible to clamp the
unit and an extra bar to a bench, and duplicate
even larger lengths than shown. The costumer can cut a 4-6"
piece off their existing unit and use that piece to
clamp to a bench. Labor considerations on my end
make an extra 24" bar more cost effective than selling 4"
bars. The 8 ft length includes truck
shipping to my location and is not as cost effective as
building up the length you need with 6 ft and
smaller. The 8 ft. length also will have a large
truck shipping cost to your location. Longer lengths would be built
up using the above extra bars.

±.001 (High Precision) (±Less than 1/8 Flat 3/8-24) Write with your requirements. It is recomended that the customer try the standard tool before considering the High Precision tool.
*Note: For reference: A MSC 24” Value Vernier Caliper cost is $287, and the Control Rod Rigger will do a better job.
