Number of Hours:  1.00
Manual Reference:  DWG 7
Brief Description:  Rudder - Skeleton

Fabricate R-917 Shim per DWG 7.

Use a 3/8 bolt to fasten the R-405PD rudder horn squarely on the rudder spar and final drill the four holes through the upper edge of the rudder horn to #30 using the pre-punched holes in the spar as a drill guide.

Cleco the rudder horn to the R-904 bottom rib to check the fit. If necessary radius the top of the rudder horn so it nests nicely in the radius of the rib flange.

-> I have to file (radius) the end of the rudder horn on the belt sander to ensure its fits into place on the R-904.

Cleco the R-904 bottom rib and R-405PD rudder horn to the R-902 rudder spar. Slide the R-917 shim into place between the rudder spar and rudder horn and drill to #30. Use the pre-punched holes in the spar as a guide.

-> The shim fit really well into place.
