If the horn was thin enough to deform from the rod end being in single shear, it will bend just as much in double shear. There is room for twist in the rod end even with both sides captured. That may be so, but it has not been my experience. My horns and bell cranks are a bit heavier however. Anyway I'm too old to care Ed Seems to me I have seen bell cranks on both Pitts Specials and Christen Eagles. They appeared to be no thicker than ..0625 and were in double shear as you describe. They must have held up pretty good considering the stresses imposed on them in unllimited aerobatics. |

I would assume a longer throw would require thicker material assuming similar material. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |
