Brief Description: Installed Plastic Reinforcements On The Fuselage
|
|
* I installed all the plastic reinforcements on the fuselage. They are all very straight forward except for the rudder cable exits.
* The rudder cable exits are located very low on the fuselage, to the point where they hang off the lower radius of the longerons. I took my time cutting them out and cutting the opening in them, and then located them per the template in the figures manual. On the left side, I was able to trim the lower corner without getting into the hood portion of the exit. On the right side, the exit is mounted lower, so trimming the lower corner would remove a corner of the hood. I reasoned that the cable could not exit any lower than the top of the longeron tube, so I move the exit up until I could trim the corner without getting into the hood. With the exit in this location, the opening for the cable still extends below the top of the longeron.
* I first thought I would cover over the cable exits, but when I started test fitting the patch it became obvious that this was going to be a challenge. I ended up trimming a clearance hole for the hood, and the patches when on without any trouble.
* I have all the plastic parts glued in place, and the patches are all cut and ready to glue, but I ran out of weekend...
