4 hours.
\nDan C and Scott F stopped by today and we went over the progress to date. It worked out great! The only squawks were some bolts without enough threads showing, some with too many, and a question of whether or not the left inboard HS ribs are outside minimums on a couple of rivets, and a suggestion on how to do the flap hinge pins, which brings us to today’s actual work.
\nAfterwards, we grabbed a bite to eat at Spitfire, then I watched Scott’s IO-390 powered RV7A hop into the sky like an ICBM. Back home, I farted around for a while, trying to decide what to do first. I did all the bolt squawks on the emp, then put the emp parts up in the attic, awaiting Van’s word on the rivet status of the HS rib. Then I did the flap hinges. I cut out 2 eyelets on the flap and one on the wing and ran the hinge pins in from the center. I bent them back and fastened them to the flap brace by means of a small plate and a CS4-4 rivet. Probably coulda just safety wired them below the wing, but this way the pin ends are tucked away out of sight. I did the left wing, and i’m almost done with the right wing, just need to make a hold-down plate for the pins and the flaps they izz installed.
\nStill waiting on my Dynon pitot\/AOA probe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
