Sep 24, 2007 1.5 Aileron pushrod and alignment; Hanging the flap Category: Wings
I attached the small aileron pushrod to the bellcrank, with the aileron alignment jig installed, then adjusted the pushrod length in order to line up the tooling holes in the end rib.

Once this was done, I tightened down the jam nut on the pushrod, and marked the pushrod so when I assemble it all again, I'll know which one is left and which is right.

Next, I clecoed the flap brace to the wing, then temporarily mounted the flap. I attached it to the wing with a couple of side-grip clecoes, then fine-tuned its location so I have a nice, straight trailing edge line and a 1/4" gap between the aileron and flap. Then I marked the skin line on the hinge for reference.

In the next few days, I'll try to get some assistance for the next step, drilling the flap hinge to the wing.
