May 6, 2007 - Flap Hookup |
||||||
| The next step with the Flaps was to drill a hole in the fuselage for the flap pushrod. The instructions and drawings don't provide any guidance. There was some stuff on the forums, but in the end you just have to trim and fit, trim and fit. I started off by drilling holes with the Unibit. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
Then I enlarged the hole with the Dremel tool.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| After a lot of back and forth, I had the holes so that the flaps could move from full up to full down without the pushrod binding against the skin. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
The vertical part of the hole was a little higher than I'd like but I
needed it that nigh so that the rod end bearing jam nut wouldn't hit the
skin.

 |
||||||
| In preparation for bending the fuel vent lines, I put the fuel vent line fittings in. From the inside. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| And the outside. | ||||||
