Brief Description: Aileron pushrods and wing conduit holes
Primed inside of aileron pushrod from yesterday. (Used a squeeze bottle full of primer.) Primed outside of pushrod.
Began fabricating the smaller 818 pushrods for the L Wing. On the first one, drilled threaded rod end and attempted to squeeze the AN470AD4-12 rivets that hold it on. Even using a drill press with a drilll guide, my holes through the assemblies on the first pushrod were not completely true, and as a result, I wasn't able to get good rivets. My impression is that a 4-12 rivet is too long for this application. I note in the plans that the rod end may be welded to the pushrod instead, and I'll consider doing that.
Began drilling 3/4" conduit holes though the L Wing. Used a Unibit and a homemade cardboard template to accurately and consistently locate the holes.
Cutting the pushrods that will connect the aileron with the bellcrank.
I used a Unibit to open up 3/4" conduit holes in the ribs.
I made this template to accurately locate the conduit hole locations. NOTE: Wing is upside down.
