Brief Description:  2: Flap Actuator

Next up today I got a start on the flap actuator. After making up the nylon block that serves as the centre mount, I then drilled the small hole in the end of the flap motor shaft. This is a requirement under Vans Service Bulletin SB07-04-11 and prevents the lock nut from coming loose. The smallest drill bit I had was 1/16" (0.0625"), so I'll need to get some large diameter safety wire for this. The hole itself was a lot easier to drill than I was expecting.

Next I fitted the nylon blocks to each end of the actuator weldment and bolted in place. I used the holes I'd drilled in the centre mounting block as a guide for drilling the bolt holes in the centre tunnel rib flange. I then took the actuator out again so I could drill and rivet a couple nutplates in place.

With this all done I then bolted the actuator back into place, hopefully for the final time.

I finished the day by getting a start on making the various small pieces that form part of the flap motor mounting arrangement.
