Brief Description: Continue finishing right wing
|
|
Today after Church, I put in a lot of time on details, not a lot of major visible accomplishments. I riveted the flap brace that I had to leave unriveted last night onto the rear spar, then mounted the aileron on the hinges (pita) and set the pushrod length. I decided to leave the pushrod in place and went on and torqued the bellcrank end, it's far enough from the bottom skin where it shouldn't get in the way at skin riveting time.
After that, I put in the 1/2" pvc conduit that will carry all the wiring for the wing, and found that a couple of ribs had holes out of alignment with the other ribs, and the conduit would not go in. Wound up having to take a small sanding wheel to the holes in the two interior wing walk ribs, pita to get to, in order to get the conduit to pass through. Then I had to go to HD Aircraft supply for another conduit, the one I had was cut too short. After getting that settled (I want to leave the conduit out until after riveting the bottom skin, it gets in the way trying to buck the skin rivets), I decided to go ahead and splice on some #20 wire to the roll servo leads to be able to run it into the conduit to the wing root after the bottom skin is on. Looking at the Dynon paperwork that came with the servo, it calls for the green and blue wires (apparently the "smart" wires) to be a twisted pair. So I twisted them, hope they'll be smart enough.

Not a good alignment, don't know what happened when drilling the ribs, but had to eggshape this one.

The roll servo leads, hope the twisted pair is twisted enough.
