Apr 30, 2020     Aileron cable fairleads - (2 hours)       Category: Wings
In discussion with Mark G it was discovered that a steel loop which accommodates a 3/4��nylon fairlead Is misplaced on my kit. It is supposed to be adjacent the flap drive but instead it's located on the 2nd rib inboard from the root. I drilled out the rivets and relocated it to the first rib outboard of the flap where it can hold the aileron carry-through cable away from the flap pushrod. In the process, I discovered that the hardware list which Avipro gave to Wicks on my behalf was short by six of these fairleads. They have been ordered from ACS. SS pop rivets have arrived from ACS. They are to be used to fasten the trailing edges of the flaps and ailerons permanently. I tried several on practice sheets and they are very hard to pull. I'm a little worried about damaging the structure so I checked with Avipro and Mark says they are indeed specified on plan sheet 11.

The inner rib had a 3/8��hole in it for the aileron cable. I tried a 3/8��snap bushing but the fit was loose. Every picture I have seen has a 3/4��hole there so I made it bigger and dispensed with the bushing.
