Played around with the idea of adding delrin aileron stops so they don't bang on the hard stops if caught in the wind. I checked lowes and my local Ace hardware and they didn't have the right sizes in stock. Went to home depot and found a combo that would allow me to try out a couple of different sizes.
5/8" diameter was too small and the ailerons still hit the hard stops before they bottomed out. 1" worked as envisioned, but limited travel to about 27* up and 16* down. This is pretty reasonable, but I think that 7/8" is probably the sweet spot and I'll circle back to this if I can source some.
Match drilled for wing root fairing nut plates top and bottom, to #19 for -8 machine screws.
Also started the process of tidying up the shop. It hasn't been done for a while and its getting pretty chaotic.
By the time all this was done, Nate was over to help me remove the wings.
I was a little worried that it might be hard to get the rig pins out because they were plenty tight to install, but I was able to tapped them out with a nylon hammer and a wooded dowel rod. The dowel wasn't even hard wood, just the handle out of a dollar store foam paint brush that I happened to have on hand.
We had both wings off in about an hour. I put one back in the vertical cradle and one across 2 work tables so I can have room to install nutplates and whatnot. Just a couple of days of detail work and these will be ready to go to the hangar and get out of the garage!
