Bonanza Maintenance Yoke

thingiverse

At my shop we replace many bonanza panels and get the yokes painted. When we are also installing an autopilot we always need to work the control surfaces, but without a yoke it can be difficult. I made this design to solve that problem. It has the bearings on the front and the back so it can still turn freely while having the weight on it. I have only tested it in a V35B so far, I think it will work with many others. If someone actually makes this, please post a make. Parts: M4x20 x 4 M4 nut x 4 1/4 ball bearing about 40 Printing instructions: Designed with self supporting holes, must use .2 layer height and print in the orientation I provided in the pictures. That being said, you can use a thicker nozzle. I printed it with a .6mm nozzle at .20mm layer height 3 perimeters 15% gyroid infill and its very strong.
