Jun 15, 2021     Spar and ribs rivet - (2 hours)       Category: Wings
Clecod ribs to spars. Ccpq42 used for tie down bracket. Riveted. 1rib left alone


 
Jun 12, 2021     R wing - (12 hours)       Category: Wings
Intermittently, I worked over the last three days. I am busy with the right wing. Previous occasion, both the front and rear spot we are prepared, the wing trust was bolted and torqued. The ribs were also Prepared, straightened, Deburred, and primed. All the metal to metal surfaces were primed. I am in the process of attaching the aileron and slab hinge arms, aileron bell crank, Teleflex etc. to the proper ribs. On rib number six, the angle brackets attaching the rib to the rear spar was over drilled, and received a bigger rivet.


 
May 30, 2021     Pitot - (7 hours)       Category: Wings
I proceeded to install my Dynon-heated pitot. I used the Vans bracket, and inserted an angle bracket on two sides, one riveted to the rib, and the other just to stiffen up at the skin


 
May 23, 2021     Gap seals - (6 hours)       Category: Wings
I proceeded with my riveting until about five rows from the rear spar I then fit the gap seal. I realized it would be easier to trim all the tabs off, as well as trim the holes. Due to the fragility of the gap seals ones all the supports are removed, I opted not to remove the support in the holes of the control arms, but to leave metal in place making a square hole. See pics. I then scuffed acetone and primed the surfaces. I use the straight edged, lined up the parallel surfaces, and custom drilled the gap seals. I completed all the rivets, noticed that stainless steel rivets to be used, and that a longer rivet must be used in the rear spa with a double or is in place. I do not believe these rivets are included, oh but are used CCPQ 44. I measured this with a cherry rivet gauge

My kit also short approximately 100 AAPQ 43 rivets


 
May 22, 2021     Top skin - (10 hours)       Category: Wings
I used my dimple dies, and proceeded to dimple all the top skin. 120�ntersunk was used for the forward spar holes. I click out the four thanks supports in place. Remember they are directional and only line up in one orientation. The tank supports was duburred on all four edges, as well as the holes. I gave it a coat of self etching primer on the contact side. I riveted the leading edge rivets,. Then I worked my way back one row at a time. I then proceeded to draw with a number 40 followed by a number 30 drill bit on the rear spar-Match drilling. I then proceeded to De Beer the top skin on both sides, as well as the rear spar both sides.


 
May 16, 2021     Wing wiring - (12 hours)       Category: Wings
I spend quite a few hours here and there since March , doing quite a bit of research in terms of wiring, calculating wire length etc. I believe that from the front of the left wing tip to the firewall with a little bit of spare length will be somewhere between 32 and 34 feet, and 22 feet from the Pitot to the firewall. I am using white wire for the Pitot heat, 12 gauge, marked with heat shrink tape. The wire to the wingtip is three conductor shielded wire, as is the same with the wing mounted landing light. Are used black pipe as a conduit, using an adell clamp on rib 9. The fitting was quite tight, and the conduit isn't moving, I had to enlarge the hole in rib from the recommend size. I also installed the dynon lines to the angle of attack indicator, as well as the airspeed pitot. On rib number three, I used the grommets supplied by the dynon, and on rib four and five are used the three-quarter inch pex clamp [shark bite]. Rib 3 bracket was screwed using a stainless steel screw with the locknut, and on rib number five are used aircraft solid rivets to secure the bracket. I then squared the wing, as well as remove any twist (which wasn't present). My table is level and I no adjustment was needed. I clecoed the skin in all the front ribs, and I started match drilling the leading edge. I started in the middle, and work my way to the sides. Before I forget, I also deburred the top and bottom skins, as well as the stringers. It is important to line up the stringers to the wing skin holes on the outside, and then cut the stringers to length Outboard first, and then the Inboard


 
Mar 05, 2021     Flap and aileron bell crank - (2.5 hours)       Category: Wings
I completed the bell crank installation for both the aileron and flaps L wing. Safety wired securing cable around aileron bell crank, aileron bell crank safety wired and bolts torqued. Tele flex cable to flap bell crank installed and safety wired. Dean turns on the female tie rod, torqued to 15 inch pounds. Torque seal applied
