Oct 25, 2023 4.0 Flaperon push rod rigging, Fuel line Category: Wings
Several hours to adjust push rods and hold control stick in proper position to determine rod ends adjustment length.. Had to mount some flaperon jigs with 4 foot sticks out front using a 2 13/16 wood block as brace to hold flaperons in a neutral postion while contol stick in neutral position and then adjust/install push rods.
Able to get fuel lines fitted to wing tanks in tricky access area. I had soaked the fuel lines in lawn mower gas for several days as result of a hint to help install tight fitting fuel lines. Use a little LPS 1 lubricant also and hosed slide right on. I did have to rout out a wing rib on right fuel tank to allow access to place and tighten hose clamp and also to provide access (with more routing) to remove/replace brass fuel tank fitting if needed in future.
Had to get some smaller 5/16 hose clamps as I guess I used all my allotment in the engine install
