Brief Description: Email Vans re fitting roll bar
|
|
Move the hole inboard as much as possible by filing it oval and
then drilling it full size. We are essentially bolting a steel
reinforcement to the longeron here, but still, we'd like to leave it
intact.

Hi Ken
Thanks for that suggestion, it worked well. Another question ...
We have back-drilled te four holes through the roll bar (Section 9-9
of instructions). After we back-drilled the #40 pilot holes in the
roll bar, we notice that the hole is right against the longeron. We
are concerned that we wil nick the longeron when we drill these
holes
to size for the AN3 and AN4 bolts. Is this a problem?
Cheers

Make the fuselage wider. 1/4 is only 1/8 per side. You can easily
open the fuse this much with just your hands. Open it until it
matches the roll bar, drill it and the steel bow will take care of the
rest.

Hi
I am fitting the rollbar for a slider canopy and it needs to be
narrowed by 1/4". I have tried to bend the bar by looping a rope
around both ends and twisting the rope in the middle. The bar flexes
in by more than 1.5", but it just springs back to its original
position. What do you suggest?
Thanks
