Lift strut fuselage tang drilling.

4 comments

How do you drill the lift strut tangs from 5/16 to 7/16 without messing them up?

Hi Darrell,

We have been using 12" long drill bits for this, we use a 3/8" first and follow with the 7/16". This gives adequate clearance with the fuselage. I've attached a couple of pictures. Let me know if this helps.

Thanks Eddie,

I do have those in my bag of goodys.

I’ll need to pick up a slimmer profile drill to run them.

Cheers,

Darrell

Our standard DeWalt and Ryobi drills work well with plenty of clearance.

    Boot Cowl Questions?

    Manual says to leave boot Cowl off till after painting! What is the purpose of this? Maybe for installing windscreen? Can you not just install everything and just mask the windscreen or is there something else you need the Cowl off for? Steve

    Door question

    In the S21 progress report # 27 there is talk of an Assembly Alert for using VHB tape to install the lexan to the door frames. However, when I search for the assembly alert -----no joy. My kit did include the VHB tape, but there are no instructions on where to use it. It does not look like there is enough to do the entire perimeter of the door and the center seams, so I am wondering if it is only for the center seam. Or, anywhere the lexan meets the door frame? Guidance please.

    Wing skin sizes

    Hi I am trying to make some room to clean out the boxes and stack the parts. I will need to make a rack. Can anyone tell me the wing skin sizes please the length and width. They will be the largest size so I can then make a multilevel rack to store the bits. I havent got the room at the moment to be able to unpack and store the bits safely so another rack inside the shed will have to be made. I need to get my inventory done asap
