Brief Description:  01 - Flap torque tube supports

Flap torque tube supports

Installing the brackets gave me a lot of grief today. I re-discovered that when tightened down, the floor panels bend down to match the ally angle fuselage longeron, which is at right angles to the skin but not parallel to the floor. Naturally, the torque tube binds when installed this way, so either the supports need an angled base, or a wedge will be necessary, or the floor needs to be supported underneath with some match-moulded JB-Weld around this area. Regardless, new supports were needed to raise the torque tube another 2-3mm, so with much frustration I re-machined those first. Tomorrow I will contemplate how to make the wedge.
