| Yesterday and today were used primarily for setting the elevator trim tabs. Initially I thought I had a problem because when I slid |
|
| the AN4 & 3 bolts through the elevator horns, they seems to be misalligned, %$@%@!~!!!!. I fretted over how to fix this and |
|
| then went ahead and installed the bolts with the appropriate washers and torqued to spec, and VIOLA!! when all was said and |
|
| done they lined up perfectly 9just like they did 3 years ago when I drilled them in the 1st place !!)) I gues that with the bols loose |
|
| without washers there was enough play in the joint to allow for misallignmnet. So with th eelevators connected to the control |
|
| torque tube and the HS. I proceeded to set the trim tabs per Bill de Rouchey's 4 step process archived in Matronics list. I ttook |
|
| several attempts to locate the control cables properly within the Rivethead threaded 'nutplates' but I think I've got it pretty well |
|
| nailed down. In the end I chose NOT to countersink the screws holding the rivethead CNC pieces because I didn't wan't to |
|
| weaken them by countersinking then any on the thin edges. I just installed them w/ SS # 6 screws and nylock nuts. I moved on |
|
| to the Rudder, the original routing into the rubber fairings didn't work and interferred with the fairing. I moved the taillight ground |
|
| wire inside of the tail cone and then cut a wide 5/8" high oval in the fron of the rudder fairing sufficient to allow for full movement |
|
| of the rudder without any interference to the cable. Bob Hall helped me pin the rudder. Tomorrow they gets bollts.washers, and |
