Brief Description: main gear weldments and com antenna
|
|
A frustrating day... the plan was to pop in the gear weldments and then finish installing fuel and vent lines around them. Drilled and reamed gear leg to weldments, then rounded up all the hardware per plans, put weldments on, got hardware started, then went to tighten and found that most all bolts are going to be too short to allow proper thread reveal. More like negatinve thread reveal. Pulled all the bolts out, scrounged around and found correct hardware for one weldment and then ordered more bolts. Securing bolts and properly torquing was a challenging task with nuts buried deep in the spar, around inaccessable corners, etc. I think I used most of the extensions, adapters, crows feet, etc in my tool box,. Got one weldment properly installed and torqued, and then finished with an easy lay-up - mounted the com antenna.
