I've been tied up at home on some matters and haven't been able to spend much time here lately. but with ALL of the airplane |
|
back in the hangar I have begun to do some reassembly. reinstalled the LED nav/Strobe lights into the wing tips, and then |
|
moved on to reattach the empennage. I made a trip to Aerozona to buy new AN hardware. And reattached the HS. I had to buy a |
|
new torque wrench, as I dropped my old one and it's now toast. I got the trim cables threaded through the HS. I went to get |
|
some Torque lock lacquer and found it was dried up ! so another trip to Aerozona. Next was to reattach the VS, I guess I never |
|
attached ALL 6 bolts with nuts, prior and I found that the middle bolts threads were located a bit too close to some of the rivets |
|
which made it difficult to get the AN washer and nylock nut on. The solution was to use an AN self locking nut which seemed to |
|
be just a tich smaller and allowed me to get it threaded and torqued to the bolts. |
