Oct 13, 2020     Attachment bolts - (6 hours)       Category: C12 Canard 2
My project arrived with two missing CNL bushings, which secure the canard lift tab to the fuselage frame F22. Also, the passenger side of F22 has the installed reinforcing pad and the pilot side does not. I'm guessing a prior builder removed the bushings and removed the pilot side pad along the way. Below are pictures of the right side pad and bushing, and the left side which I built. The right side uses a thin plywood. I used G10, the purchased compressed sheets of glass and epoxy. I built up the layers to get to the target strength and thickness, then sealed it in 2 plies of BID. I drilled it out with a carbide twist drill, using the existing hole in F22 for alignment. After cure I inspected and found a void at the lower edge of the pad, where I used my syringes and injected flox. The finished pad came to 0.99" (co-pilot) and 0.98" (pilot).

Cozy Girrls was the source for the replacement bushing. Aircraft Spruce sold me the nutplates that go on the aft side of F22, securing the bolt in the hole. ACS had COVID delays, but got here eventually.
