Brief Description: Left Wing
|
|
Spent about 2 hours drilling the LH wing. Final sized holes on the top, decided to leave the aileron hinge as-is, leaving 3/8" gap between the flap and aileron. The holes were nice and centered on the hinge lugs. Added the root rib, a hair too far aft, so I'll add a few more rivets to get better edge distance. Added the root rib by placing the aft end outboard of the attach angle (though it actually goes the other way) in order to use the holes in the attach angle to drill through. Then put the forward end like this after marking it with the pen for up/down location as seen over the top edge of the attach bracket. Only downside to this is I could not see if forward/aft was perfect. Probably could have come up with a way to mark this, but a few extra rivets will be ok. Then drilled the forward edge of the aft skin to the spar, flipped the wing and saw that I had removed the 3/32 clecoes but not enlarged the holes to 1/8. Did that, then cleaned up. Later pulled the bellcrank rib and began the bellcrank installation. I'm not happy yet with the bushing situation, so I might make those over (for the 3rd time) - the oilite bushings are great as a cheap/light design solution, but finicky to get right, and a huge amount of time to get the right fit.
