Wings Page 3
Started - 2.13.2000 - Finished - 9.24.2000

I bought the grommets for running my wing conduit from Van's, and used nylon tubing from Home Depot for the conduit... | |
 |
The tubing is a tight fit, so I don't think it will move around much... | |
 |
Finished the longer aileron control tubes... | |

 |
Left outside aileron mount bracket installed... |
 |
 |
Right inside aileron mount bracket installed... | |
 |
Ready to mount the aileron gap seal and aileron... | |
 |
Gap seal drilled and clecoed to rear spar... | |
 |
Gap seal drilled and clecoed... | |
 |
Finished left wing gap seal... Since this picture I have finished the right wing aileron gap seal and mounted the aileron... | |
 |
I'm up to my nuts in nutplates! | |
 |
I neglected to countersink the tank mount holes on the top of the spar before I installed the top skins, so I will have to make something to help hold the countersink cage level while I do them... | |
 |
As of July 9, I have all the nutplates done on the wings... I HOPE! | |
 |
Passenger fresh air vent installation... I used a marker to outline where the vent will go on the inside of the skin... | |
 |
Then marked where to drill, and drilled the vent inlet... | |
 |
Then lined up the inlet with the markings I made on the skin and match drilled it to the skin... | |
 |
I will use flush rivets and pro-seal to complete the installation... | |
 |
While looking at my wings the other day I noticed that maybe, on a hot day, my wiring conduit may "sag"... And if it does, it will sag right on my aileron pushrod... NOTE: Make sure you put your conduit UNDER your aileron pushrod... | |
 |
So, I made some little brackets that will hold up the conduit... | |
 |
One rivet in the wing skin for mounting... | |
 |
And, I will be able to inspect the brackets very easily... | |
